The full bench of the powerful D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will weigh in on two legal fights critical to President Trump (one on Don McGahn, the other on border wall funding)
The full bench of the powerful D.C. Circuit Court of Appeal agreed to weigh in on two legal fights critical to President Donald Trump: whether the House can use the courts to enforce a subpoena for testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn, and whether the House can sue to block Trump's effort to fund border wall construction over Congressional objections.
Prospects for Trump prevailing in the cases at the D.C. Circuit look grim. While the active bench of that court leans toward Democratic appointees by a 7-4 margin,Friday indicated that both of Trump's appointees--Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao--have recused themselves from both cases. As a result, the en banc court for McGahn will have only two Republican appointees. One additional GOP appointee, Judge David Sentelle, will join the en banc court considering the border wall funding dispute, the order said.
