As Trump’s attorneys prepared for the public release of Mueller’s report last month, the White House sought for McGahn to issue a statement making public what he had told Mueller’s team, according to people familiar with the discussions, who, like others commenting for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity.
In a statement Friday night, Burck declined to elaborate on his discussions with Flood but said the request from the White House was not improper. After the report’s release, Trump attacked McGahn on Twitter, and Trump’s attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani began raising questions about McGahn’s credibility and version of events. He told The Washington Post that McGahn would have left the White House if he thought Trump had engaged in a crime.
The public fight was playing out at the same time that the House Judiciary Committee was subpoenaing McGahn for his records and testimony and threatening to hold him in contempt if he did not comply.
Too bad this isnthe Washington post and from the beginning of the article you see falsehoods and bs and half truths
He refuses to say anything anout anything!! Assholes!
Supporting Trump or upholding the U.S. Constitution? It should be an easy decision.
False narrative Sickening
Fake news
Some with a backbone!! hurray!!
Witness tampering?
FakeNews...
So he refused to lie. Big deal. Now let him tell the truth.
You mean like when Comey wouldn’t tell us that President Trump wasn’t the target of the Investigation despite Trump’s request that he do so?
Lock Obozo, Creepy Joe Biden and crooked Hillary...
I actually don't think Trump understands that the Mueller Report did not exonerate him because he is still committing obstruction of justice by this very act.
Can’t believe the WH didn’t see this leak coming. They’re not only corrupt but incompetent.
Can you blame McGahn? Anyone who responds favorably to the president is automatically characterized a liar and under corruption.
The House will see Mr McGahn about two days after they starting fining him $25k/day for contempt of congress. Its going be glorious. realDonaldTrump senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC JohnCornyn SenatorLankford RoyBlunt RepAdamSchiff RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi maddow

Eventually he come around, he is just negotiating a better deal with Trump
Horse, dead, flogging, move on.

Just because Trump lies ALL THE TIME doesn't mean everyone under him must lie also. SOME actually have ethics & refuse.

Then McGahn is no better than trump, Cohen or any of the several people who’ve plead guilty!
What's trumpie afraid of? If he's so innocent why does he protest so much? I hope McGhan buries him. It's what he deserves. NO ONE is above the law.
Yo!!!!WP!!! Ben Bradlee is rolling over in the grave flipping you the bird!! Trump 2020!!!!!!!
Let me guess u heard from anonymous sources lol
Celebrating honesty is now celebrated, hopefully it’s contagious as well.
OMG there is the proof for Nadler. The Media knows better than the 2 Arrorney Generals Rosenstein and Barr .
Told U He's A Wus,And As Dishonest As DT. He was Considering Doing It.
If McGahn ,Trump's counsel,refuses to say Trump did not obstruct justice,does that not mean that Trump obstructed justice?It is very clear that Trump did,why else would his own lawyer refuse to say that he did not

White House escalates fight with Congress over McGahn documentsThe Trump administration told former White House counsel Don McGahn not to turn over documents subpoenaed by congressional investigators, escalating a battle between the two branches of government. It’s amazing how much they have refused to turn over and demanded others keep secret, yet we are all just supposed to ignore it and keep going like they aren’t blatantly corrupt. The Trump admin doesn’t have to turn over anything according to the law , that coincidentally was passed by the dems!!!! so he’s obstructing justice?
