House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) issued the following statement in response to correspondence (attached letter) from White House Counsel Fred Fielding regarding the Committee’s White House subpoenas.
"I am glad that Mr. Fielding has agreed to my suggestion of attempting to resolve this matter by negotiations, and we will, of course, set up a meeting with his staff for next week. I look forward to meeting with Mr. Fielding directly as well. At the same time, given the lateness in the Congress, I do not believe a stay of Judge Bates' order is necessary or appropriate.""
