Showdown between WH, GOP lawmakers looms over Rob Porter scandal

Washington (CNN)Senior White House officials would not commit Friday to honoring key deadlines set by powerful congressional Republicans to hand over information about security clearance procedures, potentially setting up a showdown between the President and lawmakers in his own party.
The White House is facing a March 13 deadline to respond to questions from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley about how the administration handles interim security clearances and what procedures exist to ensure someone can't operate indefinitely on a temporary clearance. And the White House ignored demands by another committee chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, to detail the circumstances around the former senior White House aide Rob Porter.
