Greetings, TicToc readers! Monday's almost over. Here's what's happening: But first...  Trump tells McGahn to skip testimonyEx-White House counsel Don McGahn will likely defy a subpoena from the House Judiciary Committee and not testify before Congress Tuesday. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said McGahn could not be forced to testify, citing a Justice Department memo asserting "immunity of the President's advisers." The move sets the stage for another contempt vote as Democrats investigate Trump's handling of the Mueller probe. More: - Earlier, the Trump administration told McGahn not to turn over documents subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee and asserted executive privilege over all of Mueller's documents.
- Democrats want to hear from McGahn about several incidents Mueller investigated to see whether Trump tried to obstruct justice.
- McGahn could still testify. The White House doesn't have the authority to stop him from appearing if he so chooses.
