House Judiciary lawsuit against McGahn: Members are seeking info on whether or not to impeach





Zoe Tillman

@ZoeTillman
New: House Judiciary designated its subpoena lawsuit against Don McGahn as "related" to Dems' petition to unseal Mueller grand jury materials. Judge asked them to explain why. They argue the goal of both cases is getting info about whether to impeach Trump https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6255916/8-12-19-House-Judiciary-Response-Show-Cause.pdf

But we'll see I suppose ...
