Breaking: Top Dem demands Barr testify on Trump's Flynn scandal
when quarantine ends, may subpoena
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler makes news by announcing his
committee is demanding Trump A.G. Bill Barr testify by June 9 -- the “very next
day” after Washington, D.C.’s stay at home order ends – or potentially face a
subpoena. Nadler made the remarks in an interview with MSNBC Chief Legal
Correspondent Ari Melber, discussing controversies facing Trump and the Barr
DOJ, including treatment of Trump advisers Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort. Nadler
alleges Barr is “subverting the DOJ into a personal agent of the President,” and
says the U.S. “cannot have a DOJ that is not impartial and that serves the
personal interests of the President and not the interests of justice,” noting
his committee is “prepared to do whatever we have to do” to make Barr testify
under oath.
