The Trump administration's stonewalling of the House Oversight Committee regarding former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn is unacceptable. The committee can't determine whether Flynn broke any laws or compromised national security without the documents that the committee has requested from the White House.

The administration can't simply wish these questions away. The committee has not only a right but a duty to pursue this matter. Moreover, Flynn deserves a fair hearing as the documents, if they exist, may well clear him. If they don't, then Flynn was not properly vetted and someone must answer for that.
