The Trump White House’s revolving door has spun at a quick pace for much of the Republican’s presidency, and Axios reported this morning that White House Counsel Don McGahn would be the next to exit.
Soon after, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) published a tweet, directed at Donald Trump, in which the senator said he hoped McGahn wasn’t leaving. The president, Grassley wrote, “can’t let that happen.”
Trump was apparently unmoved, announcing via Twitter:
“White House Counsel Don McGahn will be leaving his position in the fall, shortly after the confirmation (hopefully) of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. I have worked with Don for a long time and truly appreciate his service!”
The news comes just two weeks after we learned that McGahn has spoken at some length with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team as part of the investigation into the Russia scandal, and according to the New York Times, the White House counsel shared “detailed accounts about the episodes at the heart of the inquiry into whether President Trump obstructed justice, including some that investigators would not have learned of otherwise.”
