Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski says he’s preparing to defend the president when he faces lawmakers in what top Dems say is their first official “impeachment hearing'
Corey Lewandowski says he’s preparing to defend his former boss when he faces the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday afternoon in what top Democrats say is their first official “impeachment hearing.”
But whether they elicit new information is an open question. Lewandowski has a history of combativeness with House Democrats in previous congressional testimony. He refused to answer a slew of questions when he faced the House Intelligence Committee last year behind closed doors. In 1999, he was also charged with a misdemeanor for bringing a gun into the Longworth building while working as deputy chief of staff for Republican Bob Ney. At the time, an aide said Lewandowski accidentally left the gun in a laundry bag he brought through metal detectors.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler assailed the White House’s effort to block the three men’s testimony as another example of “obstruction” by the president and his administration. Lewandowski sat for an April 6, 2018, interview with Mueller, according to the report, providing an eyewitness account of an effort by Trump to constrain Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Mueller also obtained notes, emails and even LinkedIn exchanges.
