Federal Judge Dismisses Former White House Aide's Lawsuit Over Congressional Subpoena Enlarge this image toggle caption J. Scott Applewhite/AP J. Scott Applewhite/AP A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit by Charles Kupperman, a former aide to President Trump who had sought a ruling on whether he needed to comply with a subpoena from the House impeachment inquiry. The White House had ordered him not to testify because "as a close presidential advisor, he was absolutely immune for compelled Congressional testimony," court documents say. Kupperman, who has close ties to former national security adviser John Bolton, asked the court to rule on whether he should obey the White House or Congress. "To be perfectly clear yet again, the House Defendants will not reissue the subpoena to Kupperman, period," lawyers wrote in earlier court documents.
