House Dems Ask Court to Reconsider Enforcing Subpoena for Don McGahn

HeadlineMar 09, 2020

The ruling last month says House lawmakers cannot ask judges to force the White House to make McGahn available for questioning. Trump has barred top advisers from giving testimony, but House lawyers argued Friday that lawmakers might have to resort to arresting current and former White House officials for failing to respond to subpoenas.
