A federal appeals court was told Monday, that the House Judiciary Committee still wants testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn.

The House Judiciary Committee deems the testimony from Don McGahn important, as it could potentially lead to the introduction of “additional articles of impeachment” against our sitting President, Donald Trump.

A brief was submitted to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which included the argument from the panel’s counsel, Doug Letter.

Letter argued that the subpoena of McGahn is not a matter up for debate, although the House already approved two articles of impeachment on Wednesday evening.

“If McGahn’s testimony produces new evidence supporting the conclusion that President Trump committed impeachable offenses that are not covered by the Articles approved by the House.”

“The Committee will proceed accordingly—including, if necessary, by considering whether to recommend new articles of impeachment,” according to the brief.

For the third time in the nation’s history, the House of Representatives voted to impeach a sitting president.

President Donald J. Trump was impeached on Wednesday.

There was a debate today in the House on whether Trump violated his oath in pressuring Ukraine to investigate a political opponent for obvious corruption involving millions of dollar paid to the son of former Vice President Joe Biden. The funds were funnelled through Burisma, a natural gas company in Ukraine.

The 230-197 vote to impeach Trump for abuse of power passed on party lines.

The Senate trial on whether to remove the president will begin in early January.

Rep. Debbie Lesko, R.-Ariz., said, “I believe this is the most unfair, politically biased, rigged process that I have seen in my entire life.”

“This is the most partisan impeachment in the history of the United States,” she added.

In a Senate trial, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that Republicans will seek to dismiss impeachment charges against President Donald Trump immediately after hearing opening statements.

McConnell’s remarks came from the Senate floor on Tuesday.

As a model for a proposed trial of Trump, the Majority Leader said that he was using the 1999 Senate trial of President Bill Clinton.

McConnell suggested that a motion to dismiss would be put forth by Republicans after opening statements.

McConnell said, “By any ordinary legal standard, what House Democrats have assembled would appear to be woefully, woefully inadequate to prove what they want to allege.”

“The House should not impeach on this basis in the first place,” he added.
