The House Judiciary Committee has released the transcript of its June 4 interview with Trump White House Counsel Don McGahn, the culmination of a two-year court fight Democrats waged against the Trump administration.
Democrats had sought to put McGahn on record before the House Judiciary Committee on some of the most pivotal moments of the Trump presidency, including when then-President Donald Trump directed McGahn to fire then-special counsel Robert Mueller and McGahn refused.
McGahn served as the top lawyer on Trump's 2016 campaign and was White House counsel until fall 2018. He was one of the most significant witnesses against Trump, sitting for interviews with the FBI and prosecutors five times in Mueller's investigation as the special counsel sought to chronicle Trump's obstructive acts.
Democrats sought McGahn's testimony shortly after Mueller's investigation ended in spring 2019. After a lengthy court battle -- and stonewalling from the Trump administration -- they finally struck an agreement with the Biden Justice Department this spring that allowed for McGahn's appearance last week.
