Washington (CNN) White House counsel Don McGahn's 30 hours of conversations with special counsel Robert Mueller's team have unnerved President Donald Trump, who didn't know the full extent of McGahn's discussions , two people familiar with his thinking said. Sources close to the White House said McGahn is likely to leave his White House post after Kavanaugh is confirmed. This summer, Trump has stopped raising McGahn's relationship with Rosenstein as frequently, a person familiar with the matter said. But, as White House counsel, he has not played a major role in directing the President's legal maneuvering when it comes to the Russia investigation. Flood is viewed as a potential replacement for McGahn should he depart as White House counsel.
