Over 60 Trump-related documents to be requested from WH, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler says
- 5 years ago
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said that his committee will be issuing document requests on Monday to dozens of individuals.
“Tomorrow, we will be issuing document requests to over 60 different people and individuals from the White House to the Department of Justice, Donald Trump, Jr., Allen Weisselberg, to begin the investigations to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power,” Nadler said on “This Week” Sunday.
On Monday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that the White House had received the committee's letter and during an event with the North Dakota State Bison football team later in the day, the president was asked if he would cooperate with Nadler's request.
“I cooperate all the time with everybody," Trump said. "And you know the beautiful thing: no collusion. It is all a hoax. You’re going to learn about that as you get older. It’s a political hoax, there’s no collusion."
On Sunday, ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked Nadler, “Do you think the president obstructed justice?”
“Yes, I do,” Nadler said.
Earlier in the interview, however, Nadler said impeachment was “a long way down the road,” even after Michael Cohen’s public testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill Wednesday, in which President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer accused the president of being “a racist,” “a conman,” “a cheat” and alleged the president was involved in an illegal act that’s not yet been reported.
In December, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison by a federal judge in Manhattan for various crimes including campaign finance violations, tax evasion and lying to Congress.
Cohen told the committee Wednesday that he’s in “constant contact” with the Southern District of New York.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., asked Cohen if he was aware of “any other wrongdoing or illegal act ... regarding Donald Trump that” hadn’t been discussed yet in the hearing.
“Yes,” he said, “and again, those are part of the investigation that's currently being looked at by the Southern District of New York.”
“What we learned from the Cohen testimony is that he directly implicated the president in -- in various crimes, both while seeking the office of president and while in the White House,” Nadler said on “This Week.”
“We don’t have the facts yet. But we’re going to initiate proper investigations,” but not impeachment investigations.
