A federal appeals court ruled that House Democrats can sue to force former White House counsel Donald McGahn to comply with a congressional subpoena, the Washington Post reports.
Wall Street Journal: “Friday’s decision, by the full membership of the appeals court, replaces a prior three-judge panel ruling from the same court that declined to enforce the subpoena on the grounds that the judiciary should not referee the dispute.”
“While the ruling removes a major hurdle for the House, it doesn’t fully clear the way for the Judiciary Committee to enforce the subpoena because Mr. McGahn has additional legal arguments that haven’t been resolved.”
