The federal judge who ordered former White House counsel Donald McGahn to appear before Congress is temporarily delaying the effect of her ruling.

The outcome could lead to renewed efforts by House Democrats to compel testimony from other high-ranking officials, including former national security adviser John Bolton.

McGahn’s refusal to provide the documents came at the instruction of the White House, which suggested they could be subject to executive privilege.

A White House official confirms that Wednesday was Don McGahn’s last day as White House counsel.

Don McGahn, whose relationship with President Trump has been strained by the investigation into Russian election meddling, is set to leave the job in the coming weeks.

U.S. President Donald Trump insists that his White House counsel isn’t a “RAT” like the Watergate-era White House attorney who turned on Richard Nixon.

After once boasting he would “take a bullet” for Trump, the president’s longtime personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen fired a possible warning shot toward the White House.
