Nadler Says Trump Acting Like ‘a Dictator’ (6:32 p.m.)
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler lit into Trump as a “dictator” who is worse than Nixon in his defiance of congressional subpoenas.
“If presidents could abuse their power and then conceal all the evidence from Congress, the impeachment clause would be a nullity,” Nadler said.
The only person to defy an impeachment inquiry subpoena before Trump was former President Richard Nixon, Nadler said, and he faced an article of impeachment as a result. But even Nixon turned over many documents and allowed many to testify, unlike Trump, Nadler said.
