I don’t know, but I thought that Don JR did not fall under any umbrella of the Executive Branch. I think he is a private citizen and is therefore compelled to comply with the subpoena.
Am I incorrect?

"The only thing is, it’s oppo research,” Trump continued, arguing that his campaign was simply engaged in a routine search for damaging information on Hillary Clinton.
Just like the “Steele Dossier” you hypocritical buffoon.

Who is this?
I don’t know if you’re correct, or not. However, I don’t think the administration would care about such subtleties as “legality.” As they consider whether or not to allow Don Jr to comply, it’s unlikely high on anyone’s list as to whether or not they actually have legal standing. If they decide to ignore the subpoena, they will likely claim that his son is somehow protected by executive privilege and then hope that the case goes to one of the right winger judges that the GOP has been packing the court with over the past decade.

More than one person in history has been permitted to revisit their remarks to a Congressional committee, in order to “amend” their testimony and clear up any troubling “ambiguities”, so to speak. A do-over.

True. But amending his testimony to align with the evidence will force him to admit that Trump was pursuing the Moscow tower throughout the campaign. That puts cracks in the “no collusion” mantra, [edit] and adds to the perception that there’s a cover-up going on.

The last time didn’t he claim he didn’t have to answer some questions due to attorney/client privilege? If there was a lawyer anywhere present then you are plum out of luck. It worked before…
That has already been admitted to, by no other than the President’s personal attorney:
By Mark Mazzetti, Maggie Haberman and Michael S. Schmidt
Jan. 20, 2019
WASHINGTON — President Trump was involved in discussions to build a skyscraper in Moscow throughout the entire 2016 presidential campaign, his personal lawyer said on Sunday, a longer and more significant role for Mr. Trump than he had previously acknowledged.
The comments by his lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani indicated that Mr. Trump’s efforts to complete a business deal in Russia waned only after Americans cast ballots in the presidential election.

I’m not disagreeing with you. Having Don Jr change his testimony opens him up to questions of why he lied in the first place. Getting Trump out of office and into a prison cell is an extremely complex maneuver. Every little bit helps.

I think you’re wrong. If they didn’t send him to coventry after all the emoluments stuff came out in the spring of 2017, they will stick with him to the bitter end.
I think republicans will be pleasantly surprised by this new ‘hearing’.
