New: As expected, Rob Porter’s lawyer has informed Jerry Nadler that Porter will NOT show up to his House Judiciary testimony tomorrow, citing a direction from President Trump.
Nadler responds to these directives from Trump:

“If he were to prevail in this cover-up while the Judiciary Committee is considering whether to recommend articles of impeachment, he would upend the separation of powers as envisioned by our founders.”
WH has also directed Corey Lewandowski — who *is* expected to show up tomorrow — to not discuss his conversations with the president other than those detailed in the Mueller report.

NEWS: Nadler announces they’ve reached a deal with DOJ to obtain “key evidence” on from Mueller’s files on obstruction of justice.

But an aide tells me tomorrow’s CIVIL contempt vote on the House floor is still on.

Story TK
Nadler notes that he’s decided to “hold the criminal contempt process in abeyance for now.”

But Barr was never going to be held in criminal contempt. That would be DOJ would have to charge the attorney general with a crime. Not happening.
These are the documents — or at least some of them — that the Judiciary Committee has secured from DOJ.

(Via Nadler’s May 24 letter)

NEW: DOJ has released a new opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel saying former White House counsel Don McGahn is not legally required to testify before Congress (deleted prev. tweet that didn't specify he's a *former* WH counsel) assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6018…
McGahn, who featured prominently in the obstruction section of Mueller's report, was subpoenaed to testify before House Judiciary. Steven Engel, head of OLC, wrote that Congress cannot "constitutionally compel" top White House advisers to testify about official duties
Engel writes that because McGahn is shielded by immunity and the president can order him not to testify, McGahn can't be held civilly or criminally liable for following that directive (aka he can't be held in contempt)

NEW: Federal prosecutors have filed their sentencing memo on Michael Cohen. It's not kind. They say his crimes "were marked by a pattern of deception that permeated his professional life."
Federal prosecutors in New York say Michael Cohen should receive a "substantial term of imprisonment," even after giving him some credit for his cooperation with Mueller's investigation.
President Trump makes an appearance in DOJ's sentencing memo for his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. He is "Individual-1."
