Rep. Jerry Nadler's questioning of Mueller today continues a feud with Trump that's well into its third decade
Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is about to do something wholly out of character: pay the Trump administration a compliment, sort of. It’s a late morning at the end of March, and Nadler is sipping Diet Coke from a paper cup in his spacious office in Washington, D.C., slouched so deeply into his chair that he seems to be submerging into the books and manila folders stacked atop his desk.
Since retaking the majority, House Democrats have opened numerous fronts in their campaign to hold Trump accountable.
To Nadler, the centerpiece of Trump’s new project looked like “a huge phallic symbol,” but he kept that to himself. He asked Trump, “What’s the highest people live in New York?”“And I suppose you’ll live on the 150th floor here?” Nadler said. Trump once called Nadler “one of the most egregious hacks in contemporary politics,” and recently told reporters that Nadler “has been fighting me for half of my life.”
