Trump WH Counsel Don McGahn To Testify In Private

The Associated Press reports:

Former White House counsel Don McGahn will answer questions in private from the House Judiciary Committee in an apparent resolution of a longstanding dispute over his testimony, according to a court document filed Wednesday evening.

Democrats who run the committee have sought McGahn’s testimony for two years as part of an investigation of potential obstruction of justice by former President Donald Trump during special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

They pressed ahead with the subpoena even after President Joe Biden took office in January. The date of the private interview has not been set.

NEW: McGahn will testify in a closed-door, transcribed interview to be scheduled as soon as possible. He will be permitted to testify about matters referenced in the public portion of the Mueller Report. A transcript may be released publicly afterwards. https://t.co/sVCQ8aMxTt
