Former White House counsel Don McGahn will have to testify in the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry after a judge ruled on Monday that he can no longer defy a subpoena.
The White House has been attempting to stop McGahn from testifying in the impeachment inquiry and had been ordering him to defy subpoenas. That is no longer the case.
Washington Post reporter Spencer Hsu reported that: “Judge rules ex-White House counsel Donald McGahn must comply with House subpoena in impeachment inquiry, as Trump’s claim that top aides have ‘absolute immunity’ against testifying triggers a historic separation-of-powers confrontation.”
