In reversal, Mulvaney says he won't sue over impeachment probe subpoena

"After further consideration, Mr. Mulvaney does not intend to pursue litigation regarding the deposition subpoena issued to him by the U.S. House of Representatives," his lawyers said in a court filing.

The move was a reversal for Mulvaney, who on Monday said in a court filing that he planned to bring a lawsuit challenging the House's constitutional authority to compel testimony from Trump administration officials. Congressional Democrats are trying to determine whether Trump withheld the assistance to pressure Ukraine’s government to investigate former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden, one of Trump’s main rivals as he seeks re-election next year, and his son.

Leon's comments led to Mulvaney's lawyers saying in a Monday evening court filing that their client planned to file his own lawsuit instead.
