“It’s likely that he won’t be successful,” Republican strategist Matt Klink told Newsweek. “But protesting a subpoena from President Trump’s special counsel will boost his standing among Republican insiders who see ‘the swamp’ and a heavily politicized Justice Department as one of this country’s biggest problems.”
