Gorsuch: Why not defer to House on purposes for Trump subpoenas?
Trump's lawyers have argued that the congressional panels had no authority to issue the subpoenas and had no valid legislative reason for seeking the records.
"Why should we not defer to the House's views on its own legislative purposes?" Gorsuch asked, suggesting skepticism about one of the president's arguments.
Meanwhile, Chief Justice John Roberts seemed skeptical of arguments by a House of Representatives lawyer, Doug Letter, that lawmakers have broad authority to investigate a president for the purpose of writing laws.
