The Justice Department has released a 2019 memo laying out the case for not prosecuting former President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice in connection with the Russia investigation.

The Justice Department improperly withheld parts of an internal memo Attorney General William Barr cited in announcing that President Donald Trump had not obstructed justice, an appeals panel said.

FBI agents executed search warrants at properties that are tied to metals tycoon Oleg Deripaska, who is sanctioned by the U.S. government.

The House Judiciary Committee released testimony from the former president's White House counsel, Don McGahn, who said Trump's repeated phone calls made him feel "frustrated, perturbed, trapped."

Former White House counsel Don McGahn sits down Friday for a closed-door interview with the House Judiciary Committee. The scope of the allowed questions, however, will be limited.

The former Trump White House counsel will speak only to committee members in private, under an agreement negotiated by his attorneys, the committee and the Justice Department.

In all, President Trump granted full pardons to 15 individuals and commuted part or all of the sentences of an additional five.

President Trump has pardoned his first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador. It was announced on Twitter.

A former prosecutor says the current administration's approach is "soul-crushing," and he proposes changes for how future presidents can be investigated while in office.
