Nadler accuses Trump of 'direct assault on the constitutional order' in letter to DOJ
By Morgan Chalfant - 05/10/19 05:13 PM EDT

House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) wrote to Attorney General William Barr on Friday equating President Trump’s decision to assert executive privilege over special counsel Robert Mueller’s unredacted report and underlying evidence as a “direct assault” on the Constitution.

“The President’s pronouncement amounts to a direct assault on the constitutional order and on Congress’s constitutional, oversight and legislative interest with regard to the President and his Administration,” wrote Nadler, whose committee voted Wednesday to find Barr in contempt of Congress.

Nadler wrote that the Judiciary panel is willing to continue engaging with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to reach an agreement on the Mueller materials for which the committee has issued a subpoena, expressing disappointment at the Justice Department’s “precipitous end to our active accommodation discussions.”

Nadless needs to give it up. Everyone is sick of this.
