Life after McGahn – panel discussion

Zoom Webinar

In 2019, the House Judiciary Committee filed suit to enforce a subpoena compelling White House counsel Donald McGahn to testify. The Trump White House claimed absolute immunity on McGahn’s behalf. After two years of intense litigation and multiple court decisions, in May 2021, the Committee and the Biden Administration agreed to dismiss the case and have McGahn testify in executive session with certain limitations. The agreement left a number of critical issues undecided by the courts including the key issue in the McGahn case, whether certain senior presidential aides are absolutely immune to congressional subpoenas. Various legislative proposals are now…

Best Practices for Election Audits – discussion co-sponsored by Wayne Law’s Voting Rights and Election Law Society

Webinar

Properly administered election audits are one of the most important tools states can use to improve voter confidence and election security.

Join us on April 14, as representatives from the Brennan Center for Justice and the R Street Institute discuss the audits that followed the last election cycle and explore options to strengthen oversight of our elections going forward. This virtual panel discussion is hosted by Wayne Law's Voting Rights and Election Law Society and the…
