WASHINGTON - A U.S. House of Representatives panel told an appeals court on Monday that despite having already voted to impeach President Donald Trump lawmakers still have an urgent need for testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn.
The Democratic-led House impeached Trump last week on two charges over his pressuring Ukraine to announce an investigation of former vice president Joe Biden and Biden’s son. Biden is a potential Democratic candidate to run against Republican Trump in the November 2020 election. The committee has been litigating since August in hopes of securing McGahn’s testimony, which could bolster its case that Trump has improperly obstructed investigations into his presidency.
The Justice Department argued in a court filing, also submitted on Monday, that the impeachment vote means there is no longer any urgency to resolve the McGahn case.
Reuters... the MSM propaganda machine seedling. Some true Some lies Some complete fabrications. Then 14 fake independent are told exactly how to elaborate right up to the exact same rally cries of the brainwashed blithering ultracrepidarian biberals
It's critical in order to set precedent.
Nobody cares about the House of Representatives. The United States Constitution says the Senate has the sole Power to try all Impeachments. The House is no longer in the picture. senatemajldr should issue a deadline & schedule the vote for that date. No articles, too bad.🤷🏻♂️
I thought the case was already airtight? Absolutely proven? 😂

Bolton, Kupperman, Giuliani, McGahn, will NEVER TESTIFY! DT is BLOCKING THEM & if it goes 2 the Supreme Court they'll Side with DT! The Senate won't hold a TRIAL or LET them TESTIFY! What's DT & the GOP AFRAID OF? What R they HIDING! Call your Senator 2 Hold a Real TRIAL!
Oh please. Nancy says; -Eminent threat. But don't try to ask why! Don't dare ask abt impeachment again. -Whoops, we might just wait until the Trump appeal makes its way thru completely legal court process. Stupid obstruction charge. -Who's idiotic decision was that?
The democrats have no respect for the American taxpayer. Stop wasting time and OUR money on this sham.
Then the House should have called him as a witness before voting on impeachment.
Politicians, Please stop wasting our hard earned tax money to settle your political vendetta. Do something better for the people who elected you.
Then the House should have used their constitutional Judicial branch instead of rushing their impeachment through.
What imbeciles. You rushed it through. Then sat on it. Then tried quid pro quo to get your way in Senate. Now you want to impeach all over again while STILL holding onto 1st. INSANITY, thy name is Democrats.
people in hell want ice water
More info is always better than less. Let them all speak under oath. America deserves all of the information. We can decide the facts for ourselves.
Not so critical that they Impeached without it.
So why did they vote on impeachment before he ever got a chance to testify? Are they already admitting their partisan impeachment has no standing? Yup
Please.... the president’s lawyer? Wait Bwahahahahahahaaa
