The House Judiciary Committee has asked the full panel of a federal appeals court in the District of Columbia to rehear former White House counsel Don McGahn’s subpoena case after a panel of judges dismissed the lawsuit in a ruling that could effectively hamper the House’s ability to enforce subpoenas.
The committee asked the full D.C. Court of Appeals to intervene in the case again, arguing that the divided three-judge panel “hamstrung the House’s constitutional right to obtain information” in its Aug. 31 ruling.
