The White House on Tuesday directed former counsel Donald McGahn to hold onto documents related to special counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
The House Judiciary Committee had demanded the documents with a subpoena that set Tuesday as the deadline. In a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., White House counsel Pat Cipollone wrote that the documents "remain legally protected from disclosure under longstanding constitutional principles, because they implicate significant Executive Branch confidentiality interests and executive privilege."
McGahn's own counsel confirmed to Nadler that McGahn will not comply with the committee's subpoena. That attorney, William Burck, wrote in a letter to Nadler that "the appropriate response for Mr. McGahn is to maintain the status quo unless and until" Congress can reach an agreement with the executive branch.to McGahn last month shortly after a partially redacted version of Mueller's report was released to the public.
Good. Find him in contempt and arrest him.
The presidency has become a criminal organization. McGahn must testify even if Trump threatens him with death.
That is clearly Obstruction and abuse of power. Impeachment now
SURPRISE!!!!!!
The train is off the track. We are witnessing the final death blow to our Republic. My God, the world that my children will grow up in, my God. 😔
TotallyExonerated The term FuckWad should be used more frequently to describe DerangedDonald.
Thank you.
This is why IT IS NOT OVER! MuellerReport
Can't not be totally exonerated if you don't share the documents that don't not totally exonerate you. (Wait what?)
What he said way - He has the right not to comply which he does
Congress is attempting to force AG Barr and McGahn to break the law.
Shocking. Congress, please don't let them get away with that.
Wtf 🤔
Don McGahn as a private citizen is allowed to tell the white house to go fuck itself he's not going to break the law.
This is blatant obstruction. Too much protesting for innocence
Give it up radical Communist propaganda lovers!!!!
He’s directing McGahn to not comply with lawful orders and we’re all supposed to believe Cohen and Manafort acted on their own. Right.

Chris Matthews apologizes for comparing executive privilege to virginityMatthews suggested former White House counsel Donald McGahn should testify in front of Congress. I saw this. It was disgusting and quite offensive. It certainly disrupted the flow of his interview. SenKamalaHarris kamalahandled it so well! Is Chris old and out of date, intensive or getting demented? Not accepted Saw him do that yesterday. Disappointed (but not surprised) that this is a story. Seems like a piece for a rag, rather than what I used to think of Newsweek as being.

White House invokes executive privilege to bar former counsel from turning over documents to CongressThe current White House counsel informed the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that Donald McGahn does not have the legal right to the documents. No. Can he be asked to testify on the content of those documents? Umm, did they not already waive privilege? Can't waive privilege first and then invoke it afterwards.
