Welp, Felix Sater clammed up at his hearing today [View all]

The House Intelligence Committee came out swinging Tuesday night against Felix Sater, following a lengthy interview with the former business associate of President Donald Trump.

The closed-door appearance was expected to cap a protracted back-and-forth between Sater and the committee, which has rescheduled his testimony several times since he was first slated to appear in March.

But in a rare statement following the interview, a committee spokesman accused Sater of being uncooperative and obstructing the panel’s investigation by withholding documents and testimony in defiance of a subpoena.

“While we do not typically comment on closed interviews, given Mr. Sater’s public comments that he has fully cooperated with the Committee and answered every question asked of him, we must correct the record,” said the spokesman, Patrick Boland. “Mr. Sater has not fully cooperated with the Committee, and he will remain under subpoena until he does so.”
