(CNN) The chairman of the House Oversight Committee issued a stark warning Friday to White House counsel Pat Cipollone, demanding that the White House turn over documents and comply with interviews related to how the White House handled security clearances of some of the President's closest advisers. Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland gave the White House counsel's office until March 4 to comply with the request. "I am now writing a final time to request your voluntary cooperation with this investigation," Cummings said.
