A judge rejected the Trump administration’s argument that senior White House officials are immune from congressional subpoenas.
Don McGahn, the former top lawyer at the White House, must testify to congressional impeachment investigators, a federal judge ruled Monday.
In a decision that could reshape the balance of power between Congress and the executive branch, U.S. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson ruled that McGahn, who spent 30 hours talking to special counsel Robert Mueller's team, can't hide behind President Donald Trump's claim that he is "absolutely immune" from speaking to Congress.
The decision is expected to put pressure on other reluctant Trump administration witnesses to also appear before Congress as lawmakers prepare their articles of impeachment.

Appeals to come, but good news.
BTW... did you here Ducky had bypass surgery? Sounds like all is good and he's on the mend.
Another proper ruling. IE: a small bright spot.
Dave No I hadn't heard. Good news. He came through it well!
RN It is a bright spot in a dark and ugly administration.
IMPEACH THE BASTARD!
It just shows that our American institutions are battered by the orange blob but not yet broken. If we can retake our country in the next year or two, we just might be able to keep our democracy intact.
This Schmuck can’t even spell HEAR!
And or a word from Shaw!
LOL

That's the hope of many BlueBull. But, unless the trumper cultists are neutered we're likely looking at a prolonged period of chaotic insanity. One that could in fact kill our democratic republic.
“IF”
Hey Duck, get back at it soon and give up the cheeseburgers or maybe New England Clam Chowder.
Good Luck with your recovery
Nah, Duck doesn't advertise every pain and ache he has like a certain blogger who bores everyone with her maladies. Get well, Duckie, hope you do well!
