Ex-White House lawyer endured ‘some crazy shit’ from Trump, book reveals
Don McGahn endured screaming matches and badgering calls to advance his pet project: pack courts with conservative judges
Former White House counsel Don McGahn endured screaming matches with Donald Trump, badgering phone calls at home on his birthday and the president saying “some crazy shit” in order to advance the project closest to McGahn’s heart: packing the federal judiciary with activist conservative judges.
McGahn’s lead role in developing the roster of judges used by Trump to remake the federal judiciary – Trump has elevated 201 judges and counting, including two supreme court justices – has long been known.
