There are growing Democrat calls for impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, after a former White House counsel failed to appear before Congress despite a subpoena.
Donald McGahn skipped a hearing on Tuesday about the Mueller report.
Trump has vowed to block all subpoenas of current and former staff, sparking outrage from the Democrats.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has scheduled a party meeting on Wednesday to discuss impeachment.
The Trump administration says the report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into allegations of Russian collusion and obstruction of justice cleared the president of wrongdoing, and that there are no further questions to answer.
In a tweet, President Trump argued he had “allowed everyone to testify” to Robert Mueller’s team and accused the Democrats of seeking a “do-over” of the investigation.
On the subpoenas, the White House and the Department of Justice both say staff cannot be forced to testify.
