Former White House counsel Harriet Miers will not appear Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee, her attorney said, pointing to a directive from the White House that says she should disobey a subpoena from the panel.
In a letter made available Wednesday, Miers’s attorney George Manning informed House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) and House Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) that White Counsel Fred Fielding has instructed him that Miers’s testimony is protected under executive privilege and that she therefore does not need to appear at the hearing.
