Judges place temporary hold on ex-White House lawyer ruling

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Appeals court judges put on hold a ruling by a lower court that would require former White House Counsel Don McGahn to testify to lawmakers as part of the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

McGahn, who left his post in October 2018, last May defied a House Judiciary Committee subpoena to testify about Trump’s efforts to impede former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation that detailed Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

The hold on the case comes as the judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit consider a longer stay. They scheduled oral arguments for Jan. 3 on the underlying appeal, according to a court order.

Hours earlier, Washington-based U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson agreed to impose a temporary delay on her ruling, saying in an order it would give her time to rule on whether to put the case on hold longer-term so the Justice Department can appeal.

#1 I get the impression the courts are starting to see something that the dems and the media are not seeing.

#3 Remember all those judges President Trump sent to the Senate for approval. I suspect this is an outcome of that — he has already flipped several circuits from majority Democrat to majority Republican, and there are more still to come.

#4 Just wait until RBG shuffles off this mortal coil. The fight over Kavanaugh will look like a kindergarten squabble by comparison.
