Trump said he did not want former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify before Congress about allegations that the president obstructed justice
House Democrats are eager to hear more from McGahn and others as they continue to look into multiple allegations of obstruction.
Earlier this week, Barr said Trump would decide whether McGahn would testify before Congress even though he has left government. “That‘s a call for the president to make,“ Barr said. House Democrats are investigating Trump, his finances and his policies, but the White House has refused in many cases to provide committees the information they want.
“I assume they looked at my taxes,“ the president told Fox News. “I assume Mueller looked at my financial statements, having 20 people and 49 FBI agents and all of the staff and all the money that was spent. I assume for the $35 million, my taxes, my financial statements, which are phenomenal, they've gone through anything. And I‘m so clean. Think of it, two and a half years and all that money spent, nothing. Very few people could have sustained that.
