In a fit of pique over Special Counsel
Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, former President
Donald Trump almost reached an “inflection point” and “point of no return” that would have set in motion a
Richard Nixon-style “Saturday Night Massacre,” ex-White House Counsel
Don McGahn recently told Congress behind closed doors.
The just-released transcript of McGahn’s closed door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee contains a series of new answers and elaborations on details that were publicized in the Mueller Report.
Releasing the June 4th transcript on Wednesday, Judiciary Chair
Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said: “Mr. McGahn provided the Committee with substantial new information—including firsthand accounts of President Trump’s increasingly out of control behavior, and insight into concerns that the former President’s conduct could expose both Trump and McGahn to criminal liability.”
