The general counsel of the office, Leslie Dubeck, rebuffed calls from the lawmakers for testimony and documents about an ongoing criminal investigation, saying it would interfere in prosecutors' criminal case. The grand jury has been investigating the circumstances surrounding a payment made on Trump's behalf to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the days before the 2016 presidential election.
