Jackson ruled Monday that McGahn must comply with a subpoena for his testimony from the House Judiciary Committee. She rejected the Trump administration’s argument that the president’s top aides should be shielded from congressional questioning. Democrats want to question McGahn about whether President Donald Trump tried obstruct special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. The administration wants Jackson’s ruling put on hold until appeals are resolved. The judge notes that the committee consented to a brief delay.
