In 8-Hour Interview, Trump Counsel Recounted ‘Troubling Events’ To House Members
HuffPost
Two years after House Democrats originally sought testimony from Don McGahn, the Trump White House lawyer gave a closed-door interview.
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said Friday that a nearly eight-hour interview with former President Donald Trump’s top White House lawyer “shed new light on several troubling events” during his presidency, though it was unclear how Democrats would use the information long after investigations into Trump’s ties to Russia have concluded. The closed-door interview with Don McGahn, which came two years after House Democrats originally sought his testimony, was originally part of Democrats’ efforts to investigate whether Trump tried to obstruct Justice Department investigations into his 2016 presidential campaign. House Democrats sued after McGahn defied an April 2019 subpoena on Trump’s orders. McGahn appeared Friday after an agreement was reached in court to sit for a transcribed interview behind closed doors, with his answers limited to information that had already been publicly released in former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Trump and Russia. That report also came out in April 2019.More Related News
