A federal judge issued a stay of her own order on Nov. 27, two days after she said former White House counsel Don McGahn had to comply with a subpoena from House Democrats.

McGahn asked President Barack Obama-appointee Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson, a district court judge in Washington, for a temporary stay on Wednesday morning.
