“I hope not to have to use the subpoena,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the committee chairman, said earlier Thursday. “Unfortunately, a series of troubling events over the past few months suggest that we should be prepared.”
Daniel Schwarz, Nadler’s spokesman, said, “That’s what we’ve been talking about this whole time.” He stressed that the panel had sent Whitaker many letters and requests to settle points of his testimony in advance, to which he had chosen not to respond. “You can’t pretend there’s been no conversations for the last month.”
Leading up to Friday’s scheduled hearing, Democrats vowed to press Whitaker about his conversations with President Trump, and Whitaker’s decision not to recuse himself from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.
