White House counsel Don McGahn wouldn’t comply with a White House request last month to say publicly that President Trump didn’t obstruct justice, according to new reports in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
Just after the redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was released last month — in which McGahn is painted as a road block to some of Trump’s most egregious requests — the White House asked McGahn to make a public statement declaring Trump didn’t try to obstruct the Russia probe, but McGahn declined. Sources told the Journal that McGahn didn’t want to comment on the entirety of the evidence uncovered or give any additional statements beyond what he shared with Mueller.
The news comes just as the House Judiciary Committee hopes to bring McGahn in for testimony following news that the White House instructed him to ignore their record requests.
“the White House asked McGahn to make a public statement declaring Trump didn’t try to obstruct the Russia probe”
Isn’t McGahn supposed to provide evidence instead of making judgement?
McGahn: “I’m not felony-loyal, bro’…”
The criminality and obstruction continues while Republicans play the fiddle ("it’s over!).
What this country needs is for the President to hijack the annual non-partisan July 4th celebration on the Mall and turn it into a rally for “our favorite President.”
That will fix us.
Obstruction of justice and witness tampering in plain view. No shame a duh face!
McGahn is a relatively young man. He probably wants to continue to make a living for a few more years #everythingdonaldjtrumptouchesturnstosht
