this is the same day that the deputy national security adviser, former deputy national security adviser went to court to find out whether or not he has to give a deposition. they're trying to get rid of the white house's ability to stonewall. >> well the battle over transparency is what you call this. the challenges and there are limits to process arguments. and the republicans are seeing they have to migrate to the substance and the president said let's talk about the substance and the process. but the republicans have to defend the position that the quid pro quo is not an impeachable offense and where they had to go to and where the substance will go. the challenge is that the white house continues to not cooperate and that adds another front to the battle that republicans will have to fight on. not just the substance, but also now adding themselves a process argument they have to push back on. >> this might be in a way bad news for republicans because i think the process argument was probably easier, it is easier to say this is behind closed doors, who is adam schiff, he's not inspector pierre and

courts to resolve it. i mean, the lawyer has said that kupperman, the deputy national security advisor, is indifferent. whatever the court tells him he must do, he will do. and that's frankly an incredibly logical position. so what's the white house's best argument? i think they have a reasonable argument, although it's fact dependent on executive privilege. it's a real thing. presidents from all parties and all administrations have asserted it in one form or the other. i think the notion that they have absolute immunity, meaning that the witness doesn't even have to show up -- >> scalpel. you need a legal scalpel here. it's like, okay, you can get executive privilege for here and we'll carve out the territory, you know, rather than, you know, rather than just saying yes or no. >> i think that's probably where the court comes out that they say that absolute immunity is a made up thing. that a witness has to show up and that when the witness shows up, he or she can assert privilege on certain questions and certain responses. privilege is normally construed narrowly because the idea is you want the fact f

charles kupperman, a former national security aid to john bolton, filed a lawsuit with the district court here in d.c. on friday night asking the judicial branch in a sense to weigh in on whether his obligation is to honor a subpoena from congress or orders from the executive branch not to testify. and as of this morning, that lawsuit had not even been lieu m the court, kupperman will not be testifying this morning. he's important to democrats because he'll represent the first witness who was actually on that phone call, the phone call that started this whole impeachment inquiry. and while democrats will get another crack at another witness who was on that call on thursday, the big take-away with kupperman, is i think you can look at him as a proxy for whether or not john bolton, the former national security adviser, will appear. the two men worked together for quite a long time. they share the same attorney. and it's possible that this court fight over whether or not kupperman will testify could influence the negotiations to get john bolton here at some later date, geoff. >> garrett, hel

court. it's significant because democrats have really wanted to hear from cupperman and he was the acting national securityes in septem. obviously, john bolton was the national security advisor much of the summer when the discussions were going on. here is the lawyer, cooper, going into federal court and saying, hey, the white house has told us that we cannot talk to the hill. the hill has subpoenaed us and federal judge, you need to figure out whether we can testify. and that's why this lawsuit was filed. and it's interesting because democrats had really been counting on this testimony, and now it will be heading into the courts. lots of speculation the past few days about what bolton may say, and certainly kupperman being as close as he was to bolton, would be a significant witness as well. >> and what exactly is constitutional immunity? >> well, it was described to me as essentially executive privilege on steroids, sort of executive branch, the president, through the white house counsel invoking his most significant powers to try to stop someone from testifying to congress. the president did this with h
