I’m not sure if he based his administration’s seemingly absolute noncompliance on the basis of executive privilege or not. I think he simply refused based on his assertion that he’d done nothing wrong and there was no legitimate need for investigation.
But I think the house managers believe that if he’d eventually lost the court battles regarding subpoenas then he’d claim privilege and they’d have to go through another round of court battles to fight that claim.
Regardless, I think Republican “concerns” about the lack of enforced subpoenas and additional witnesses not being heard in the house are obvious BS. Since they have the opportunity to pursue these things right now. As part of the actual impeachment trial.
