A top Republican lawmaker on Sunday said the courts — not Congress — should resolve a new complaint from President Donald Trump's transition lawyers about the conduct of special counsel Robert Mueller's team.

"These are issues to be briefed by the parties (or others with cognizable legal claims and standing) and decided by the court — not Congress," a Gowdy spokeswoman said in a statement.

Trump's transition legal team wrote a letter to two congressional committees, including Gowdy's, on Saturday alleging that Mueller's team had inappropriately obtained thousands of transition emails that were housed on government servers. The transition team said it hoped the findings would be "useful in discharging your oversight responsibilities, ensuring the integrity of the special counsel's investigation." It also suggested new laws protecting future presidential transitions from unwanted disclosure of emails.

But Gowdy's spokeswoman said the issues raised by the transition were "specific legal issues" regarding claims of privileged information and that those matters belonged in court, not Congress.
