In an interview with CNBC, the Judiciary Committee chairman also criticized Attorney General William P. Barr, calling him “just a liar.”
By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow May 15 at 9:28 AM House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said in an interview that President Trump is making it “increasingly difficult” to avoid impeachment but that his chamber is probably not headed in that direction.
“It depends on what comes out,” Nadler said. “It depends where the American people are, whether they want to go that way or not. I don’t want to make it sound as if we’re heading for impeachment. Probably we’re not.”After Harwood noted that he’s heard from other House Democrats who think impeachment proceedings will be launched eventually, Nadler said: “Maybe. It’s hard. I don’t know.”
Nadler also said he considers Trump a “con man” but argued that that is not grounds for impeachment either. “He’s making it increasingly difficult,” Nadler said. “[T]hat’s a way of neutering Congress, of making sure that Congress can’t do its job, of turning the country into a dictatorship of a monarchical president. You can’t function if you don’t have information.”
After Harwood pointed out Barr’s different interpretation — that there was “no collusion” — Nadler said: “Bill Barr is just a liar. And he’s just representing the president.”Nadler later said he saw two possible interpretations of how Barr has handled Mueller’s report.
