President Trump is reportedly preparing to order former White House counsel Donald McGahn to not comply with a House Judiciary Committee subpoena for his testimony.

The New York Times, citing a person briefed on the matter, reported on Monday afternoon Trump was preparing to tell McGahn to skip a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.


A person familiar with the president's plans told The Times the Trump administration was planning to give McGahn a legal opinion from the Department of Justice that justifies skipping the hearing.

McGahn could risk a contempt of Congress citation if he abides by the White House's instructions.

Hasn't McGahn already testified for 30+ hours?  What more could they possibly want?

Quote
In a letter to Nadler, White House lawyer Pat Cipollone said that he had been advised by the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel that "Mr. McGahn is absolutely immune from compelled congressional testimony with respect to matters occurring during his service as a senior adviser to the President," according to ABC News's Catherine Faulders.

Duh.

Maybe he can just send them a memo saying that he has already answered questions and to refer to his previous answers.  P.S., I have no further information.
