Those fighting subpoenas have nothing to do with Trump preventing them from testifying. They are fighting because they don't want to testifying - not because Trump won't let them.
Here's the big question, though: would they fight a Congressional subpoena if they did not have the backing of the White House in their efforts? 10-to-1 we would have already heard from these folks had Trump not issued his directive.
Edit to add: There are also the Executive Privilege claims.
