Justice Department Finds Trump Can't Stop McGahn From Testifying

Justice Department Finds Trump Can’t Stop McGahn From Testifying

(Letter at link)

There is still a House Judiciary Committee hearing scheduled for Tuesday. Instead of hearing from McGahn, the hearing might be a vote to hold the former White House counsel in contempt. Thanks to Trump’s own Justice Department, the contempt vote will not be an empty gesture. McGahn could decide that his only way out of what is going to be a legal mess is to testify.

Since McGahn is no longer an employee of the Executive Branch, there is nothing that Trump could do to stop him from showing up at a Judiciary Committee hearing and offering his testimony.

It is now up to Jerry Nadler and the House Judiciary Committee to convince or compel Don McGahn to show up and testify.
