Full Appeals Court to Hear McGahn and Border Wall Cases


The Full Bench of the Powerful D.C. Circuit Court of Appeal Agreed to Weigh-In on Two Legal Fights critical to President Trump:

- Whether the House can use the Courts to Enforce a Subpoena for Testimony from Former White House Counsel Don McGahn.

- Whether the House can Sue to Block Trump's Effort to Fund Border Wall Construction over Congressional Objections.

The Friday afternoon Announcement wiped out a Major Victory Trump scored last month when a Smaller Panel of the same Court Ruled, 2-1, that the Courts should Not wade into Subpoena Fights between Congress and the White House.

The Appeals Court said it will Hear Arguments April 28th in Both the McGahn and Border Wall Disputes.

There seems to be Little Chance that the Supreme Court will Resolve the Issues definitively before the November Election, but Rulings in the House's Favor could Lead the Justices to Intervene with a Stay in the coming months.

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, the Order 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.
