House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said Monday the White House’s refusal to participate in Wednesday’s impeachment hearing is a sign that President Trump has something “to hide.”
“The American people deserve transparency,” Nadler said in a statement.
“If the President thinks the call was ‘perfect’ and there is nothing to hide then he would turn over the thousands of pages of documents requested by Congress, allow witnesses to testify instead of blocking testimony with baseless privilege claims, and provide any exculpatory information that refutes the overwhelming evidence of his abuse of power,” he added.
