White House counsel Don McGahn could leave his position in the coming months, according to sources familiar with White House discussions.

McGahn could decide to return to electoral politics in the coming months, a source said.

Another source told CNN that McGahn is expected to rejoin the campaign when he leaves the White House.

McGahn, a source said, worked hard to get attorney Emmet Flood to the White House. The White House announced today that Flood was joining President Trump's legal team to represent him and the administration in the special counsel investigation.

Flood represented then-President Bill Clinton during his impeachment process in the late 1990s.
