President Donald Trump moved on Nov. 14 to have a court dismiss a lawsuit filed by Charles Kupperman, a former aide to ex-National Security Adviser John Bolton, arguing Congress cannot compel Trumps immediate advisers to testify about their official duties.<\/p>\n

Democrats want Kupperman to testify in the impeachment inquiry while White House lawyers advised him not to comply with the inquiry, prompting the suit, which asked a federal judge to decide which party to obey.<\/p>\n

House Democrats originally subpoenaed Kupperman but later withdrew the subpoena<\/a> and asked the judge to dismiss the suit, which the judge declined to do.<\/p>\n

Now Trump is asking the judge to dismiss Kuppermans suit, claiming executive privilege in the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Donald J. Trump, in his official capacity as President of the United States, hereby respectfully moves to dismiss Plaintiffs complaint pursuant to Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,\u201d according to the filing.<\/p>\n

Trump said Kupperman and Bolton were presented with most national security issues when they were working for the administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Kupperman was responsible for amassing and integrating information and advice from all pertinent Executive Branch agencies and officials, and making recommendations to NSA Bolton and\/or the President, on virtually all issues of national security requiring decision-making by the President,\u201d Joseph Hunt, assistant attorney general, and James Burnham, deputy assistant attorney general, wrote (pdf<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Kupperman met with Trump multiple times a week and was present for most of Trumps meetings and calls with foreign leaders.<\/p>\n
