McGahn II, were in the meeting, but Mr. Priebus was not.<br />“I responded, ‘What?’ And he said, ‘Well, we just got a special counsel and Sessions just resigned.’ I said, ‘What?<br />What the hell are you talking about?’ And I said, ‘That can’t happen.’”<br />Mr. Priebus bolted down the back stairway of the West Wing and out the door to the parking lot and found Mr.<br />Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, raced out of the building, found<br />him in his car, banged on the door and implored him to come back inside.
