William Burck, a lawyer for Don McGahn, told the House Judiciary Committee that his client would “respect the president’s instruction”

The White House sent to the House Judiciary Committee a memo from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel that argued Congress can’t compel the president’s senior advisers to testify about their official duties.
