House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) threatened to hold former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in contempt of Congress because of his "refusal to answer questions" relating to the Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report.
"Mr. Lewandowski, your behavior in this hearing room has been completely unacceptable. It is part of a pattern of a White House desperate for the American people not to hear the truth," Nadler said. “I’ve been asked several times today whether the Committee will hold you in contempt. It is certainly under consideration."
"There is a far more troubling level of contempt on display here today and that is President Trump's role in your refusal to answer questions. The pattern of obstruction laid out in the Mueller report has not stopped," Nadler explained. "You showed the American people in real time that the Trump administration will do anything and everything in its power to obstruct the work of the Congress. The president's lawyers are sitting behind you right now to make sure that you do not answer us."
According to Nadler, Congress is focused on exposing "corruption, obstruction and abuse of power."
"Make no mistake, we will hold President Trump accountable," Nadler concluded.
Lewandowski refused to answer questions relating to previous conversations with President Trump. He cited executive privilege as his reason for not providing insight.
From The Hill :
The remarks came after Democrats tussled for more than five hours with Lewandowski over his involvement in a possible obstruction episode as laid out in special counsel Robert Mueller 's report. In particular, they sought to have the longtime Trump ally answer questions about Trump asking Lewandowski to pass along a message to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2017 that urged him to reverse his recusal and set limits on the Russia probe.
Lewandowski ultimately turned to then-White House official Rick Dearborn to deliver the letter. Dearborn did not ultimately follow through, telling investigators that the request made him uncomfortable.

Timing is great.
My mother dies, and douchebags like this live on. The world is fallen and unfair.
What are the Republicans on the committee going to do about nadless and his actions. Time to go after him with charges. I watched the charade and am totally disgusted with this farce. The worst part is we’re paying their salaries.
I agree.
Nadless is obsessed and has gone completely bonkers over this.
Pelosi knows it and keeps trying to back off and get his and others attention but it isn’t getting through to them.
I wouldn’t worry about Nadler. God will take care of him in his own way very soon. All I can say Nadler does not look well to me. Keep it up Nadler, God is watching.
Front Butt??? Is this in reference to his face?
Bump! Thanks for linking.
No Nads Nadler has been best described as a pile of dirty laundry. Works for me.
I hear you, FRiend and agree.
My condolences along with the prayers.
I’d like to see Nadler captured by a militia, briefly tried, then hanged.
"Make no mistake, we will hold President Trump accountable," Nadler concluded.You might be sorry you poked that bear.
Andrew McCarthy said on After the Bell, that it was an investigation that was not a criminal investigation. President Trump had every right to make suggestions about the handling of witnesses even closing down the whole investigation.
So, even if the note held orders from the President to fire Mueller and the whole Special Council, it was
NOT OBSTRUCTION. Why the republicans don’t check with McCarthy to find out what they can do to stop all this nonsensical crap, I can’t think of a reason.
Contempt of Congress indeed.
Someone should put Nadler in his place.
“House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) threatened to hold former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in contempt of Congress”
Wow! That’s an honor to be awarded a Citation of Contempt from DemocRAT Congressional Scumbags and Slimeballs.
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
I knew Corey would do great. But he has exceeded my expectations.
Nadler is the type of politician who give hypocrisy a bad name.
Looked like a fishing expedition in the Mohave Desert.
But your Mom is in heaven. Only the Lord will judge Nadler — but I sure hope he’s wearing his asbestos britches when he checks out.
