"What worries (White House officials) most is what Don McGahn told the special counsel"

New panic at White House after briefing on Mueller report: ‘There is significant concern’ over obstruction

“They have been briefed but I’m told in broad brush strokes,” Karl explained. “They’ve been briefed enough to know that the White House will not invoke executive privilege to try to get further redactions.”

“Yes,” Karl clarified. “There is significant concerns about what will be in here — new information — on the obstruction of justice question, what the president was doing regarding some of the big questions.”

“What worries them most is what [former White House counsel] Don McGahn told the special counsel,” he added. “It was reported that he spent 30 hours before the special counsel. I’m told significantly more than 30 hours.”

And there is reason for the White House to be concerned. According to Karl, no one on the president’s legal team ever debriefed McGahn about what he told the special counsel.
