CNN: Rep. Jerry Nadler Subpoenas Former White House Counsel Don McGahn

‘The house Judiciary Committee is subpoenaing the former White House counsel, Don McGahn, asking him for his testimony and for records, in relation to the committee’s investigation into potential obstruction of justice’

EXCERPT:

RAJU: "Yeah, breaking news indeed, Wolf. The House Judiciary Committee is subpoenaing the former White House counsel, Don McGahn, asking him for his testimony and for records, in relation to the Committee’s investigation into potential obstruction of justice. This, according to a person familiar with the matter, who tells me that the Committee is, indeed, moving forward with a subpoena for Don McGahn. Recall that recently, the Committee was authorized to issue subpoenas for five different individuals. Five former White House officials, people who had cooperated with the Mueller investigation. Well, in the aftermath of the release of the redacted version of the Mueller report, the Committee is making its next move, issuing a subpoena for Don McGahn, asking for his testimony, probably in public. Also, asking for records, anything that he got as he prepared to testify. And as you know, Wolf, McGahn was a central player for the — during the first two years of the Trump Administration and his name is mentioned throughout Robert Mueller’s report, in addition to what he’s referenced in the report, to the President’s efforts to apparently try and dismiss Robert Mueller. He was asked to dismiss Robert Mueller, but McGahn, according to the report, resisted that move.”
