White House directs former counsel Don McGahn not to testify before House panel

"As with the subpoena for documents, Mr. McGahn again finds himself facing contradictory instructions from two co-equal branches of government," McGahn's attorney William A. Burck said in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler. He added later,"Under these circumstances, and also conscious of the duties he, as an attorney, owes to his former client, Mr. McGahn must decline to appear at the hearing tomorrow.

Earlier this month, Nadler's committee voted to hold Barr in contempt for refusing to provide the unredacted Mueller report and underlying evidence to Congress. House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff says he will take an unspecified"enforcement action" against the Justice Department for not complying with the committee's subpoena for Mueller's counterintelligence information.

POLITICO Playbook PM: Trump says he’d ‘absolutely’ send troops to the Middle EastTrump called the trade war with China 'a little squabble' and rejected the characterization that talks have broken down. More on the ongoing trade negotiations in Playbook PM: Narrator: Talks have broken down. The press helped give us trump in ’16, and they still refuse to admit it. The woman in the NY Times article below “has heard everything, and taken good notes,” trump said, yet no reporter saw fit to even LAY EYES on her. Instead it was ‘her emails’ 24/7. So yes, they've broken down. Trump doesn't have a way forward except by lying about the trade war that he's losing - and costing American consumers and businesses dearly. We're paying for Trump's tariffs, not China.
