Former White House counsel Don McGahn is poised to testify before the House Judiciary Committee Friday following a years-long effort by Congress to enforce a subpoena demanding McGahn s testimony about events related to former special counsel Robert Mueller s Russia investigation.

Legislature Seeks To Ban Affordable Care Act Plans That Cover Abortion
Montana Republicans are adding another bill to the slew they’re bringing this legislative session to restrict access to abortion in the state.
House Bill 229 would bar plans offered through the Affordable Care Act health insurance exchange from covering abortion, except in the event of a medical emergency. It was heard and endorsed by the House Judiciary Committee Friday on a party-line vote.
Rep. Jane Gillette, a Bozeman Republican, is sponsoring the legislation. She said there’s at least one plan on the health coverage exchange available in Montana that covers abortion.
