The White House is expected to block former counsel Don McGahn's testimony to a House committee
"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.
