Yes, they are legal documents. Well done. You know who decides who wins in a legal argument between one branch (Legislative) and another branch (Executive)? The third branch (Judiciary) decides whether the subpoenas can compel the Executive to appear at a Legislative hearing or not. Trump did not outright refuse, but rather, he put it to the Supreme Court. Trump exerted Executive Privilege, which is his right as President of the Executive Branch. Only the Supreme Court can break the stalemate. That's how our Constitution works. That means no one is acting in a criminal fashion related to subpoenas and refusal to appear. Those are all rights recognized by our Constitution. Only the Supreme Court can weigh in to interpret Executive Privilege in a different way than Trump's people did. So far, nothing doing.
