A federal agency cited confidentiality concerns to justify its hesitation to turn over documents related to the Trump International Hotel to a House panel investigating the role of the president’s company at the historic site.
Democrats said the unwillingness to cooperate by the General Services Administration, which is responsible for government buildings, was part of a “large-scale coordinated pattern of obstruction.” They added that the agency had turned over documents during previous administrations.
