Matthew Whitaker to meet with Congress again this week after Democrats accused him of misleading them
By Karoun Demirjian Karoun Demirjian Congressional reporter focusing on national security Email Bio Follow March 11 at 6:31 PM The House Judiciary Committee plans to meet in private Wednesday with former acting attorney general Matthew G. Whitaker, amid Democrats’ concerns that he intentionally misled them during a combative public hearing last month.
Whitaker, who has not worked at the Justice Department since William P. Barr assumed the role of attorney general last month, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Wednesday’s meeting — which will not be an official interview or deposition, according to a committee spokeswoman — comes as the panel escalates its probe of President Trump.
Nadler questioned Whitaker’s testimony indicating that he never discussed Trump’s frustration with Michael Cohen, the president’s former attorney, for pleading guilty to lying to Congress and various financial crimes. [In combative hearing, Whitaker says he did not discuss Mueller probe with Trump but dodges other inquiries]
