She said there were four topics on the agenda. First, she testified, McGahn asked “essentially, why does it matter to DOJ whether one White House official lies to another?”

The White House counsel works for the government, not for Trump specifically. So the atty-client privilege doesn't apply the same way. McGahn might be in some trouble. Wonder what he knows. Well, he knows if he told Trump what Yates told him.
