Some Democrats on the committee have filed articles of impeachment to remove Barr from office. Nadler has called that a « waste of time » given Republican control of the Senate.
WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork) — There was a clash on Capitol Hill on Tuesday with New York Congressman Jerry Nadler taking on Attorney General William Barr while Nadler came under fire himself.
Nadler arrived for the judiciary hearing delayed after a minor car accident. He immediately put the rhetorical pedal to the metal, facing Barr.
“In this Justice Department, the president’s enemies will be punished and his friends will be protected no matter the cost, no matter the cost of liberty, no matter the cost of justice,” Nadler said.
“What enemies have I indicted? Who, who, could you point to one indictment that has been under the department that you feel is unmerited, that you feel violates the rule of law? One indictment,” Barr said.
