Trump’s comments on this weren’t exactly categorical, though in context, it seemed clear that the president is prepared to block McGahn from testifying.Few figures play as an important a role in the Mueller report as Don McGahn. As we’ve discussed – and as Trump acknowledged – the Republican lawyer spoke with investigators for dozens of hours, and in the redacted version of Mueller’s report, the former White House counsel is cited more than 150 times.
Naturally, Democratic lawmakers have a few questions about McGahn’s controversial interactions with his former boss. Trump wants to block those conversations, but he also wants to accuse McGahn of lying – and that’s a problematic combination.
