Attorney for former White House personnel security director implicated by whistleblower blasts Oversight Committee, calls clearance probe 'opposition research'
Robert Driscoll, an attorney for Newbold's former supervisor, Carl Kline.
In a letter to White House counsel Pat Cipollone last week, committee Chairman Elijah Cummings summarized Tricia Newbold's apprehensions about the security clearance process and her former supervisor, White House personnel security director Carl Kline, who left the job earlier in the year. Cummings' letter says Newbold told the committee"she and other career officials adjudicated denials of dozens of applications for security clearance applications that were later overturned.
Newbold's attorney, Ed Passman, previously told ABC News that characterization was unfair to his client. "I just think it's a bad road to go down," Driscoll said."And I think the legal narrow legal issue can be worked out by the way by the House subpoenaing a document would be one easy way to get around it."
