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.
