Don McGahn lied to Trump just to get off the phone: testimony

Of the many things included in the closed-door testimony from former White House Counsel Don McGahn before the Justice Committee is the comment that McGahn had a hard time getting Trump off the phone.

"McGahn said he told the President that he would see what he could do," one member asked, citing page 85 of the Mueller report .

"I did say that, yeah. Yeah," answered McGahn.

"Did you intend to see what you could do?" the member asked.

"No," McGahn said, simply.
