(CNN) President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he does not want his current or former aides to testify before various Democratic-controlled congressional committees in their attempts to oversee his administration. Trump argued in an interview with The Washington Post that having his current or former aides talk to Democrats in Congress is unnecessary after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report"There is no reason to go any further, and especially in Congress, where it's very partisan -- obviously very partisan," Trump told the paper. Trump said the White House Counsel's Office has not "made a final, final decision" about asserting executive privilege to block testimony to Congress and he accused Democrats of using the investigations for political gain.
