The White House tested the limits of its claims of executive privilege Tuesday, as former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski followed the direction of the president's lawyers and repeatedly declined to answer questions posed to him by the House Judiciary Committee and its attorney.
During a chaotic hearing that lasted nearly five hours, Lewandowski sparred with Democrats on the committee about what information he was allowed to share about his conversations with the president.
He similarly faced off against Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel's Barry Berke later in the hearing, the first time that attorneys have been allowed to question a witness under recently passed committee rules. Berke is currently on a leave of absence from the firm.
