The White House on May 7 instructed Don McGahn, its former counsel, to refuse to comply with a congressional subpoena for documents related to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia inquiry, intensifying a fight between President Donald Trump’s administration and Democratic lawmakers.
McGahn, who left his post as White House counsel last year, was directed not to produce White House records sought in the subpoena issued by Democrats on the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, according to the current White House counsel, Pat Cipollone.
