Jerrold: York Democrat and House

jerrold: House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, the New York Democrat who will oversee the next phase of the impeachment inquiry inhearings that begin next week, told the White House on Friday that it must give a definitive answer on whether it will participate by 5 p.m. on December 6, according to CNN. Reminding the President of the stakes, Nadler wrote in his Friday letter that the House Intelligence Committee is preparing its report that will describe 'a months-long effort in which President Trump again sought foreign interference in our elections for his personal and political benefit at the expense of our national interest' and engaged in an unprecedented campaign of obstruction in an effort to prevent the Committees from obtaining documentary evidence and testimony. The White House has been tight-lipped as it weighs the risks and potential reward of intervening in the House proceedings. That report from the House Intelligence Committee is due as early as next week -- a chance for Democrats to make a cogent case against the President after weeks of testimony and document collection. It could attempt to sway public opinion by questioning witnesses, introducing its own witnesses -- if approved by the chairman, Democratic Rep. Nadler has offered the White House the chance to defend the President's conduct head on. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
