House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler blasted Trump’s Justice Department as “incredibly arrogant” for instructing Robert Mueller to limit the scope of his upcoming congressional testimony
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler on Tuesday blasted President Donald Trump’s Justice Department as “incredibly arrogant” for instructing Robert Mueller to limit the scope of his upcoming congressional testimony.
But the New York Democrat predicted the DOJ directive would have no great consequence on Wednesday’s highly anticipated pair of hearings with the former special counsel.“I don't think it's much of an impediment, simply because Bob Mueller had indicated repeatedly that he was going to do exactly that,” Nadler told CNN. “I think it's incredibly arrogant of the department to try to instruct him as to what to say.
Justice Department officials have communicated to Mueller that during his appearances before the Judiciary committee and the House Intelligence Committee, the department expects his public testimony to stay within the parameters of his 448-page report detailing the findings of his 22-month investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and potential obstruction of justice by Trump.
Department officials consider any evidence gathered throughout the course of Mueller’s probe to be “presumptively privileged,”
