After a nearly two-year court battle, former Trump White House counsel Don McGahn testified behind closed doors on Friday about his role in the events described in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
The scope of the long-awaited interview was “limited” to specific topics, including “information attributed to Mr. McGahn in the publicly available portions of the Mueller Report and events that the publicly available portions of the Mueller Report indicate involved Mr. McGahn,” according to the agreement struck between House Democrats and the Justice Department, while "communications between Mr. McGahn and other Executive Branch officials that are not disclosed in the publicly available portions of the Mueller Report are outside of the scope of the interview.”
The House Judiciary Committee is set to ask the former Trump aide “whether the Mueller Report accurately reflected Mr. McGahn’s statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and whether those statements were truthful.”
