Washington — Don McGahn, White House counsel for former President Donald Trump, will answer questions from the House Judiciary Committee on June 4, after a deal was reached between the Justice Department and Democrat-led panel for his testimony earlier this month.
McGahn will appear before lawmakers for a closed-door transcribed interview next Friday at 10 a.m., according to an official notice sent by the committee. A transcript will eventually be made public, according to the terms of the deal filed with the U.S. court of appeals in the District of Columbia. Under the agreement between the Justice Department, which is representing McGahn, and the Judiciary Committee, the interview will be limited to information from McGahn in the publicly available parts of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election.Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday said it will consider the constitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Fund, agreeing to review a lower court decision that upended the mechanism for funding programs that provide communications services to rural areas, low-income communities and schools, libraries and hospitals.
