If Abbott continues to withhold the sources, Green said, he may ask U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler to conduct an investigation into the shooting and call Abbott as a witness.
before breaching the room and confronting the shooter, Abbott said he was “misled” about the response, adding that he was “absolutely livid” about the inaccuracies.Since then, Abbott has released handwritten notes outlining the details he received before his May 25 press conference, when he relayed the inaccurate account of the police response to the public. But Abbott has declined to reveal who misinformed him. .
If Abbott continues to withhold the sources, Green said, he may ask U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler, the New York Democrat who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, to conduct an investigation into the shooting and call Abbott as a witness — where he would be compelled to testify under oath.“We can have hearings, and we can call witnesses.
Green continued, “I hope the governor got that message, because at some point, if the governor does not give us the names, I think that we’ll make a request that the Judiciary Committee hold a hearing and have the governor as a witness at the hearing.”[email protected]
