JUST IN: White House expected to block former White House counsel Donald McGahn from testifying before Congress about events relating to Mueller probe, sources tell ABC News.
The White House is expected to block the testimony of former White House counsel Donald McGahn before Congress about events relating to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Earlier this month, the White House instructed McGahn not to comply with a subpoena from House Democrats for documents related to Mueller’s investigation. McGahn was a central figure in the Mueller report and cooperated extensively with the special counsel’s probe. He met with Mueller's team multiple times for more than 30 hours and questioned more extensively than any other member of the White House staff who went in for an interview.
Mueller had requested to speak with McGahn about the circumstances surrounding former FBI Director James Comey’s firing and his reported involvement in the events surrounding Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recusing himself from the Russia investigation, the sources said.
