Soon after the Justice Department released special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation report, President Trump asked former White House counsel Don McGahn to publicly state that he did not view an order to dismiss Mueller as obstruction of justice.

Sources told the Wall Street Journal that McGahn declined the request delivered by current White House special counsel Emmet Flood.
