The White House requested that former White House counsel Don McGahn publicly state that President Trump didn't obstruct justice, but McGahn declined, an administration official tells CNN

The White House requested that former White House counsel Don McGahn publicly state that President Donald Trump didn't obstruct justice, but McGahn declined, an administration official told CNN on Friday.

The timing of the White House's request -- which was made through top White House lawyer Emmet Flood, according to the official -- is unclear. The official and a separate source familiar with the matter said that McGahn previously told special counsel Robert Mueller's investigators he didn't believe Trump obstructed justice. The Wall Street Journal first reported the White House's appeal to McGahn.This is a breaking story and will be updated.

More made up fake news. McGahn doesn't need to state Trump didn't obstruct. The Mueller report already did that. The dirty left can't get over it!!

Yet one more 'un-named' source?... ?

And where did you get this fake news?

Unnamed administration official says something.

So what?

Did it, now? Yet, another ANONYMOUS SOURCE If IrresponsibleCNN cared about rebuilding its rock bottom credibility, it would NAME EVERY SOURCE or SHUT UP FakeNews CNN is MediaMalpractice

TMZ is more credible than CNN

OH PLEASE

How does someone get so fat

CNN fake news..reporting lies

So that's where ErinBurnett went as if anyone gives a SH!T! Here's what's funny. The FaceoftheDeepState Comey wasn't the draw FakeNewsCNN hoped. Preached to CNN viewers 'Morality'? Nobody's buying what GoofyAzzComey is peddling. Politics

CNN's sources are so anonymous that they don't even exist!!

No shit... apparently after you leave they do not require you to drink the KoolAid

Tonight’s search for a story.

FNN strikes again! Lmfao

Oh let me guess CNN? Another anonymous source told you? Right?

More fake news- show us some proof 🤣

It’s over cnn. Stop whining.

WELL LEAST SOMEONE CANT LIE FOR TRUMP SEE IF YOU ALL DID THAT YOU ALL BE IN A BETTER PLACE

No collusion, no obstruction, lots of fake news.

So is collusion still on table?

Normal trap they try

Ooookkk...

Where are the tapes?

Several administration officials said 👉👉NO COLLUSION 👈👈 👉👉NO CORRUPTION 👈👈

Like anybody at this point would believe anything that came out of any of your faces.

'an administration official'? Was that the doorman at Mar Lago?

So who are these sources? Oh yeah the ones who said Trump was a Russian agent.

So what if he did. If the head of the executive branch feels there is misbehaving by underlings he can fire whatever he wants. There was no curtailing of constitutional powers in the Mueller investigation.

Move on, it's over. Your ratings are in the toilet, better go back to covering cats stuck on utility poles or partner up with Nickelodeon which is in 3rd place HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HE IS OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT!!!!!!!!!

Really CNN. Obstruction of justice? Her name is Hilary Clinton.

Okay. So what happens next? This is obstruction right? When does Trump pay for breaking the law? Nothing ever happens. If this were anyone else they would be in jail.

He better shut up

Who cares? NoObstruction NoCollusion

ISNT TRUMP GREAT BETTER THAN WHOS THIS FLOSSY READING FROM A WHITE BOARD HELD BY ODDBALL LAWYER DODO HIS NAME ILLRELEVANT BUT ITS LIKE A WASHED UP AG JEFWEE HEY YOU CNN NOT TRUST WORTHY NO MORE.

I have to assume more lies and Will be retracting this soon. When you lie about so much for so long EVERYONE Assumes every story is a lie (expect the 20 viewer's has left - airports & hospitals pays to air their bs)

Cooper Bond (0011) or I am a SPY! Eye spy, the pie in the sky, brain waving us with pics, words on their screen with sounds to imprint your brain! 'Good Dogs' (viewers of CNN) now go bite. It works click link

tinyboo49 Now if only DonFMcGahn would be a real hero and come on to Congress to testify!!!!!

He said/He said. I do believe this isn’t new but thanks CNN for staying right on top of things! As usual!

No Breaking new from CNN: Multiple people shot in central district Seattle.

HMV (Human Masters Voice) Telling us how to feel, who and when to be mad or mad at. when to scream, who to yell at, and what to hate, who to hate. Even telling us how we should react to what they repeat. It works click link

In other words, Trump asked him to lie.

Doesn’t matter - bc the conclusion of the Mueller Report was NoCollusionNoObstruction and it won’t change- it’s over move on CNNsucks

You have no sources

He is still obstructing.

Oh I did the same thing when the cop was after me. First I fired the cop & then I told my lawyer to fire the new cop that was after me & when he wouldn't I told him to lie about how I tried to get him to fire the new cop & then I told him to lie about that.

Still sniffing out Russian leads...

What? Another unnamed source? How fake news of you!

. ThusSpakeZaRussianCash PUTINtrump2020 MAGA = ManipulatingAmericasGullibleAspirants GOP = GuzzlingOrangePiss .

' total exoneration ', yet still....

'The official and a separate source familiar with the matter.' We want names or it never happened.

Umm, you can’t simultaneously assert executive privilege over a potential witness AND ask them to make a public statement. Am I missing something SethAbramson ?

It's FAKE NEWS FRIDAY.

If Mueller and 17 Dem attorneys can say it, why should Trumps staffer?

More bullshit from cnn

Don McGahn Rebuffed White House Request to Say Trump Didn’t Obstruct JusticeAfter the release of the Mueller report, the president sought to have the former White House counsel say that he didn’t believe the president’s push to dismiss the special counsel constituted a crime. Trump asked White House special counsel Emmet Flood in private to inquire with McGahn about releasing a statement affirming Trump never obstructed justice. Wouldn't any reasonable person do the same?
