President Donald Trump gave an impromptu press conference after abandoning a meeting with House Democrats on infrastructure. Abortion rights advocates protested the recent restrictions placed on the procedure in state houses across the country. Former White House counsel Don McGhan ignored a subpoena to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. Those are among the highlights of the week of May 20, 2019 in Washington, D.C.
