Don McGahn Rebuffed White House Request to Say Trump Didn’t Obstruct Justice
After release of the Mueller report, the president sought to have the former White House counsel say that he didn’t believe the president’s push to dismiss the special counsel constituted a crime

WASHINGTON—Within a day of the release of the Mueller report last month, President Trump sought to have former White House counsel Don McGahn declare he didn’t consider the president’s 2017 directive that he seek Robert Mueller’s dismissal to be obstruction of justice, but Mr. McGahn rebuffed the request, according to people familiar with the matter.

7. Isn't this "illegal"? Who in the White House made this request?

Isn't that person subject to the law? Isn't it illegal to request someone to lie about something like this?
Just asking....
