| House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler |
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler announced today his committee is filing suit to acquire the grand jury material underlying the report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
“It is clear that any other citizen of this country who behaved as the president has, would have been charged with multiple crimes,” said Nadler in his announcement. “No one can be above the law, not even President Trump."
“Because Department of Justice policies will not allow prosecution of a sitting president, the United States House of Representatives is the only institution of the federal government that can now hold President Trump accountable for these actions."
“To do so, the House must have access to all the relevant facts and consider whether to exercise all its full Article I powers, including a constitutional power of the utmost gravity — recommendation of articles of impeachment.”

Nadler explains they've been trying to work with DOJ, but that it's been fruitless. Still, they'll be able to show they've tried to work with DOJ and it hasn't met their needs. pic.twitter.com/1MFyyFBR9e— Zack Ford (@ZackFord) July 26, 2019
