In addition to her testimony, the House Judiciary Committee is demanding that Hicks turn over all documents and records related to an exhaustive list of 36 topics that resembles a point-by-point summary of the 448-page report by Special Counsel Robert.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said Thursday that if executive privilege is invoked or some other objection over a question, the committee will take any measure necessary in response to unfounded privilege assertions.
