Two years ago, Mr. Trump directed his former White House legal counsel, Don McGhan not to testify in response to a House Judiciary Committee inquiry subpoena.
McGhan finally testified last week, and his SWORN testimony was released today. The transcript backs the testimony
of Rob Porter that Trump even asked McGhan to create "fake news" after Trump publicly claimed a new report was a lie! McGhan testified that he attempted to talk Trump out of firing Robert Mueller and that Trump's behavior was erratic.
"...The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Porter in August 2019 to testify regarding Trump's actions in response to the Russia investigation,[16] and the White House directed Porter not to testify in September 2019.[17] ...Porter resigned from the position of White House Staff Secretary on February 7, 2018, following public allegations of spousal abuse from his two ex-wives.[12] The allegations were supported by photographs of a black eye (which Porter claimed he took) and a restraining order.[28][29] Porter has said the allegations are false and are part of a "coordinated smear campaign".[30] The Washington Post reported that White House counsel Donald McGahn had known since January 2017 about the allegations Porter's ex-wives made to the FBI, and that Chief of Staff John F. Kelly had known about the allegations since October 2017, still promoting Porter after.[31] Post reporter Aaron Blake wrote that this development made the allegations a "full-blown scandal".[32]
Asked by reporters two days after Porter's resignation, President Donald Trump commented, "He said very strongly yesterday that he's innocent so you have to talk to him about that, but we absolutely wish him well, he did a very good job when he was at the White House."[33] In mid-February 2018, it was reported that Senator Hatch had sent letters to Porter's former wives, apologizing for initially defending Porter in response to their accusations against him.[34] ..."
None of McGhan's testimony is actually a surprise, the troubling thing is that you voted for him again, after all of this was reported. WHY?
