WASHINGTON – Former White House counsel Don McGahn testified Friday behind closed doors before the House Judiciary Committee, under an agreement that avoided a constitutional showdown over the investigation of former President Donald Trump.
Under the agreement, McGahn sat for a transcribed interview. The transcript will be released within seven days, after a confidential review by McGahn s and Trump s lawyers.
