House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler is teeing up a post-recess showdown with President Trump as the New York Democrat pushes for impeachment behind the scenes.
Nadler has fired off a wave of new subpoenas compelling former administration and Trump campaign officials to testify shortly after the House returns to Capitol Hill in September.
He’s also seeking to challenge the White House’s claims of executive privilege as he pursues witness testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn.
The House general counsel’s office filed a motion in the U.S. District Court of D.C. on Monday arguing for an expedited decision on their lawsuit that seeks to enforce a subpoena for McGahn’s testimony.
