“A federal appeals court on Monday dismissed a House lawsuit seeking to force President Trump’s former White House counsel Donald McGahn to comply with a Congressional subpoena, saying Congress has not passed a law expressly authorizing it to sue to enforce its subpoenas,” the Washington Post reports.
“The divided 2-1 ruling dealt a blow to Congressional oversight powers and came three weeks after the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit affirmed that Congress had standing to sue — that is, it had shown that the Trump administration’s refusal to allow to McGahn to testify harmed the House’s long-standing right to compel government officials’ testimony.”
