Former White House communications director Hope Hicks reportedly refused to answer questions during Wednesday’s closed-door meeting with the House Judiciary Committee, prompting Democrats to express outrage at her lack of cooperation.

Hicks met with lawmakers to talk privately about President Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to obstruct former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether or not Russia had been knowingly involved in the 2016 presidential election. Armed with an attorney, Hicks would not answer any questions unless the White House counsel said that she could, according to Democrats.

The White House lawyer allegedly said multiple times throughout the meeting that Hicks had blanket immunity and did not have to talk about her time in the White House. House Democrats said that Hicks refused to answer simple questions such as where she sat in the West Wing or if she lied to Mueller, according to Politico.

“She made clear she wouldn’t answer a single question about her time unless the White House counsel told her it was okay,” said Democratic Florida Rep. Ted Deutch, according to Politico. “She couldn’t even characterize her testimony to the special counsel.”

California Rep. Ted Lieu said that White House lawyers were “making crap up” so that Hicks wouldn’t testify, and that Hicks would not even discuss situations that occurred after she left the White House.

“We’re watching obstruction of justice in action,” Lieu said, according to Politico.

Hicks did deny that she made false statements during the campaign and did not show regret for “white lies” that she had previously admitted to making for Trump, according to Politico. She also answered questions about campaign meetings where Wikileaks was a focus, but did not provide any new information about the subject.
