What’s the story?

Nearly three-quarters of registered voters say they believe former White House officials should be required to testify before Congress.
The new Hill-HarrisX poll comes as President Donald Trump and his administration instruct former officials – including former communications director Hope Hicks and former administration attorney Annie Donaldson – to refuse to comply with congressional document requests and subpoenas for testimony.

What are the numbers?

74% said they believe former senior White House officials should be required to testify before Congress when they are subpoenaed. (Including 87% of Democrats, 73% of Independents, and 61% of Republicans)
26% of respondents said they believe that former officials should not have to testify.

What do you think?

Should former White House officials respect subpoenas? Take action and tell your reps, then share your thoughts below.
