This week, Chairman Nadler will introduce legislation to slash the budget of the Attorney Generals personal office at DOJ by $50 million.
In the coming weeks, the Committee will hear testimony from DOJ whistleblowers and former Department officials. These individuals are prepared to describe specific incidents of misconduct, as well as the unprecedented politicization of the Department of Justice under President Trump and Attorney General Barr.
Chairman Nadler and other members of the Committee will file an amicus brief in the case of United States v. Michael Flynn in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Flynn case is one of many cases in which Attorney General Barr has improperly interfered for the benefit of President Trump and his political allies.

this is a MASSIVE flaw in our system that needs reform. When congress subpoenas you, you show up, or you go to jail. Congress asked for drumpf's tax returns in early 2019 and we STILL do not have a ruling from SCOTUS. How is congress supposed to conduct oversight when, by the time they are allowed access to witnesses and documents, the president has literally stalled out his entire 4 year term?
