White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Friday she was “not aware” if President Donald Trump had “formally” instructed former White House counsel Don McGahn not to testify to Congress. The president told Fox correspondent Catherine Herridge that he can’t “let” McGahn testify. Trump has previously used Fox News as a messaging apparatus for official White House business. Congressional Democrats want to speak with McGahn regarding alleged obstruction of justice by the president, as detailed in Mueller’s report. Trump reportedly ordered McGahn to fire the special counsel, but McGahn didn’t follow through.
