2. A federal judge ruled on Monday that former White House counsel Don McGahn must testify before the House about President Trump's alleged efforts to obstruct the Mueller investigation into Russia's election meddling. “Presidents are not kings,” Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote. “They do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood, whose destiny they are entitled to control.” The decision gave House Democrats a victory in their pursuit to stop the White House from blocking key witnesses from testifying before Congress in ongoing investigations into the president. — NEW YORK TIMES
