It is a common sense reason, not a legal one. If the president can't have confidential conversations with his cabinet, he simply can't function. It is inappropriate to ask a subordinate what the president said in a private conversation, and for good reason. I realize neither you nor the senate democrats want him to function but the reason not to answer is valid and critical.
Personally I love obstruction and gridlock because I want the federal government to do less, not more. But I hate the politics of personal destruction and what is going on now is definitely that. I'd rather the democrats just obstruct and lay off the personal war on Trump. Actually I think it may hurt them more than it will hurt Trump who isn't a politician and won't do politics again.
Surprised that you couldn't figure out that the birther thing was going to come around in this manner
