House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler called for Robert Mueller’s report to be released publicly along with any underlying evidence, arguing that doing less could be considered a “cover-up”
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler on Sunday called for special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to be released publicly along with any underlying evidence, arguing that doing less could be considered a “cover-up.”
Mueller did not drop new indictments as he wrapped up his nearly two-year-long probe, but Nadler said President Donald Trump might have been shielded from criminal indictments because of the office he holds. If that is the case, Nadler said, Congress will hold him accountable instead.“If the president cannot be indicted … as a matter of law, then the only way to hold the president accountable is for Congress to consider it and act, if warranted,” Nadler said on “Fox News Sunday.
“Congress can only do that if it has the information,” he added. “For the department to take the position that ‘we’re not going to give information because he’s not indicted, like a normal person who’s not indicted because of lack of evidence,’ is equivalent to a cover-up and subverts the only ability to hold the president accountable.”
He also said it was possible that there had been abuses of power that did not technically constitute a crime. On another interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Nadler said his committee would use subpoenas, if necessary, to continue gathering information, but he said they’d first try to negotiate.We’re hosting a live chat on Reddit with former federal investigators who worked on some of the biggest cases since Watergate and our senior reporter, Darren Samuelsohn.
