Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and entertained by members of his own committee—as a “waste of time†because the “corrupt†GOP-held Senate wouldn’t remove Barr from office. Nadler told Jake Tapper that the committee would pursue other tactics, like advancing legislation that aims to decrease funding to his office.
