Daniel S. Noble, Esq.

Senior Investigative Counsel (Majority)

House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
The Capitol 

Washington, DC. 20515

Dear Mr. Noble:

We have received just now your clients? letter reiterating their position that the House?s
subpoena commanding Dr. Kupperrnan?s testimony is ?lawful,? that President Trump?s
contrary assertion of testimonial immunity for Dr. Kupperman is ?baseless,? and that ?there is
no valid or justiciable legal claim for [Dr Kupperman] to make to a court to prevent his
appearance.? We want to assure your clients, again, that it is not Dr. Kupperrnan who contests
your clients? constitutional claim. It is President Trump, and every President before him for at
least the last half century, who have asserted testimonial immunity for their closest
confidential advisers. If your clients? position on the merits of this issue is correct, it will
prevail in court, and Dr. Kupperrnan, I assure you again, will comply With the Court?s
judgment.

Sincerely,

Charles Cooper
