Professor Barry McDonald Interviewed on Mueller Report White House and Congress Showdown -- NPR Radio

May 9, 2019 | Professor Barry P. McDonald was interviewed regarding the Mueller report showdown between the White House and Congress on the KPCC Airtalk with Larry Mantle program, "What to watch for as White House, Congress battle over unredacted Mueller report release appears headed to court. "

Via KPCC Radio:


The White House is invoking executive privilege, reserving the right to block the full release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia probe, escalating President Donald Trump's battle with Congress.

The administration's decision was announced just as the House Judiciary Committee was gaveling in to consider holding Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress over failure to release the report. Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York declared the action by Trump's Justice Department was a clear new sign of the president's "blanket defiance" of Congress' constitutional rights.
