The Department of Justice on Wednesday asked the federal appeals court in Washington to block a lower court ruling that would require former White House counsel Donald McGahn to testify in the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
A federal judge ordered McGahn to comply with the subpoena earlier this week in a ruling that could have broad implications for other potential witnesses, including the former national security advisor John Bolton, who has so far refused to speak with Congress in the probe.

The filing was submitted in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Washington, D.C. Circuit. It asks the appeals court to temporarily halt the lower court ruling, pending further appeals.
Joseph Hunt, the assistant attorney general, wrote in the brief that the lower court "gave insufficient weight to the separation of powers" in ordering McGahn to comply with the subpoena issued by the House Judiciary Committee.
