House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she agreed with Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler that the country was "now in a constitutional crisis" as President Donald Trump's administration continues to stonewall congressional requests for records and testimony related to the Russia investigation.
The Trump Administration has shut down various requests for documents and testimony related to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
And the House Judiciary Committee contempt vote on Wednesday was the first in what is expected to be a series of punitive actions the House is weighing against the administration.
We’re talking about a cumulative effect of obstruction that the administration is engaged in. And the president is declaring that he is not going to honor any subpoenas from the Congress. So I support the path that our chairmen are on and I do believe it will establish the case that we are on from here," she said.
