Donald Trump actually said...
Why would a future president of the United States have to have candid and important conversations with his White House counsel if he thought there was even a small chance that this person, essentially acting as a lawyer for the country, may someday be brought before a partisan and openly hostile committee in congress, or even a fair reasonable committee, to reveal the inner secrets of foreign policy or other important matters so bad for the USA!
Context
Trump questions the necessity of candid conversations with his White House counsel if they could be compelled to testify before Congress.
