Nadler calls for House hearing on Trump-Russia mess
A senior member of the House Judiciary Committee is calling on the committee’s chairman to hold a public hearing to look into the latest bombshell revelation in the Trump-Russia mess.
And U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-Upper West Side-Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst) said it’s vital that any hearing take place in an open forum and not behind closed doors.
“The criminal investigation by Director [Robert] Mueller and the House and Senate Intelligence Committee investigations must, of course, continue. However, when it comes to investigating the sweeping nature of the current allegations, the firing of FBI Director [James] Comey, the potential criminal activity by the Trump campaign and the attempt by a foreign power to undermine our elections, it is clear that we must have open hearings with the jurisdiction and authority to fully conduct an investigation of this matter,” Nadler said in a statement.
