A Trump lawyer wrote to Congress and said it won't happen. McGahn's lawyers said they'll defer to the White House (aka status quo) and not provide docs or testimony while it gets sorted out.
If that's correct then we probably wait many (maybe many, many) months till the Supreme Court makes the final ruling on who should prevail. We're likely to hear the same story on a broad range of Trump's stonewalling of House subpoenas - it goes to the courts and takes a long time to get decided by the SC. Anybody know how long it will likely take for these disputes to wind their through the courts till the SC actually decides these kinds of cases of Congressional prerogatives vs. Executive prerogatives?
