Whitaker to testify publicly Friday, Judiciary chairman says
By Morgan Chalfant - 02/07/19 08:22 PM EST
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker will testify as planned before the House Judiciary Committee on Friday, Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said.
“CONFIRMED: Acting Attorney General Whitaker will appear tomorrow morning at 9:30am,†Nadler announced on Twitter Thursday evening.
The development came shortly after Nadler sent a letter to Whitaker saying there would be “no need†for the committee to subpoena him if he appeared before the panel as scheduled and is prepared to respond to questions.
Whitaker had agreed to testify publicly before the committee last month on Feb. 8. However, his appearance was abruptly called into question on Thursday after the Democrat-led panel voted to authorize a subpoena to ensure his appearance, in the case he declined to show up or answer certain questions by citing executive privilege.
