The New York Times reported that in his first term, Trump did demand that the Justice Department prosecute Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey but was steered away from it by his White House Counsel Don McGahn, who told him he didn't have the authority to order such a thing.

The Office of the White House Counsel, for example, should not be some fair-minded place for smart lawyers to assess presidential actions according to existing law; it should be an “activist” entity, with subordinates who “see their role as helping to accomplish the agenda through problem solving and advocacy.”

In a letter sent Thursday to Warrington and the White House Counsel’s office, Connolly is demanding a list of who xactly the administration is giving clearance to and all records related to what if any background investigations were carried out.

He systematically issued dozens of subpoenas in a week’s time for his election interference case, bringing into the grand jury critical witnesses like former Vice President Mike Pence, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy, along with more key figures in Trump’s orbit.

Trump announced in December that William McGinley, a longtime election attorney who served as cabinet secretary in Trump's first term and has been appointed White House counsel for his second term, will be DOGE's attorney.
