Nadler To White House: ‘No President Is Above The Law’

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler slammed the Trump administration on Wednesday, saying the White House’s blanket refusal to comply with legitimate congressional requests from 81 Trump officials or allies is akin to “claiming that the president is a king.

“No president, no person in the United States is above the law,” Nadler told CNN reporter Manu Raju. “This is preposterous.”

In a letter to Nadler on Wednesday, White House counsel Pat Cipollone declared that the White House will ignore Nadler’s subpoena because it was issued “not to further a legitimate legislative purpose, but rather to conduct a pseudo law enforcement investigation on matters that were already the subject of the Special Counsel’s long-running investigation.”
