Mulvaney plans to file separate lawsuit over House subpoena

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said he plans to file his lawsuit separately against the White House and the House, asking for a judge's intervention to decide what he should do following his subpoena, according to a new filing.  

Mulvaney tried to join the ongoing case of another uncooperative impeachment witness, former deputy national security adviser Charles Kupperman, who sued House members and the White House before his scheduled testimony, asking a court to resolve whether he should follow the White House's orders that he is immune from testimony or the House's subpoena. Kupperman's case isn't set to be resolved for weeks, if not until mid-December or later. 

Mulvaney said he believes his case is still related to Kupperman's, thus potentially putting it before the same judge, Richard Leon of the DC District Court.
