Washington - The White House won a key victory for presidential power Friday when an appeals court rejected a lawsuit over President Donald Trump blocking his former legal advisor from honoring a Congressional subpoena.

But McGahn refused to appear on Trump's instruction, with the White House citing Trump's executive privileges. Legal experts say that the US Supreme Court, which decides key constitutional issues, has never ruled on such a question, but the lower court ruled in favor of the Judiciary Committee's position.

"We lack authority to resolve disputes between the Legislative and Executive Branches until their actions harm an entity beyond the Federal Government."
