In GOP gambit, White House OKs 'limited' testimony for ex-security clearance chief
The White House indicated late Friday it would make former security clearance boss Carl Kline available to interview with the House Oversight Committee on May 1, but only if his testimony is limited to "policies and practices" of the security clearance process, a restriction that Democrats have previously complained is too narrow.
"[W]e understand the scope of the interview will be limited to White House personnel security policies and practices, consistent with our prior offers for Mr. Kline's voluntary cooperation with the Committee," White House counsel Pat Cipollone wrote in the letter to the committee's top Republican, Rep. Jim Jordan.
Republicans on the panel say Cummings' decision to subpoena Kline created an unnecessary conflict with the White House over his testimony and ultimately stymied a voluntary interview that would have been the first step in the committee's information-gathering efforts. "We are pleased that Mr. Kline is coming in for an interview that we are hopeful will provide any necessary answers related to the security clearance process," said a Republican committee source.
