Don McGahn will be called to testify

Former White House lawyer Don McGahn will be called to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, President Jerrold Nadler, D-NY, said Sunday.

McGahn's appearance will help the committee understand if President Trump has prevented Justice from asking McGahn to fire Special Advocate Robert Mueller, a request that the former White House lawyer has denied, said Nadler during an interview with "Meet the Press" on NBC.

He stated that McGahn's testimony was critical after Attorney General William Barr presented Mueller's report to the public in his four-page summary and press conference prior to the redacted publication of the findings of the special advocate.

"The key is that Barr has clearly misled the American people into obstruction of justice (…) and we can not accuse him because the Justice Department will not let us down. "Accuse him," said Nadler, referring to internal guidelines suggesting a sitting president. can not be charged or prosecuted. "And let me just say, we must have, part of this is why we have to hear Barr, why we have to hear Mueller, we have to hear from other people like Don McGahn, whom we are going to call We have to get l the whole report, including the redacted documents, so that we can evaluate it and allow the American people to know what is happening and to make judgments. "

Earlier this month, the Judiciary Committee of the House is authorized to summon McGahn to testify and documents that he had sent to Mueller.

Nadler also stated that his group would not engage in an official impeachment procedure until it had analyzed "all the evidence, all the information we could get".

"We will see where the facts lead us," he said.
