mr. nadler: mr. chairman, h.r. 1585, the violence against women re-authorization act of 2019 not only re-authorize the violence against women act, also known as vawa, but it will expand the act's critical programs. it provides communities across america the crucial assistance they need to combat crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. h.r. 1585 builds on this foundation by enhancing the services available under these programs and by expanding their reach to include vulnerable populations who are victims of these crimes. vawa, which is not gender exclusive, addresses the needs of men and women, children, persons with disabilities, homeless persons, and lgbtq people, among others. importantly, h.r. 1585 offers new protections for transgender individuals. the range of individuals vawa helps is broad and should be diverse as our communities is around the country. i am pleased this re-authorization continues our commitment to this important principle. this bill re-autho

mr. nadler: mr. speaker, i now yield two minutes to the vice chair of the crime subcommittee, the gentlewoman from florida, ms. demmings. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized. . mrs. demings clonl: some of the hardest calls police officer make are continue mat partner calls. they are heartbreaking, dangerous, and commonplace. domestic violence affects every community and crosses all racial and socioeconomic lines. it's heartbreaking and even more tragic because domestic violence is often preventable. that's the purpose of the violence against women act. one in five homicides in florida is a result of domestic violence. in 2016, over 100,000 domestic violence incidents were reported to police in florida. since i began my remarks, three women have been beaten, battered, or murdered. mr. speaker, these calls are extremely dangerous for everyone involved. when law enforcement responds to these calls, they, too, are put at great risk. in 2017, more officers were shot responding to domestic violence ca

mr. chairman, i have an amendment. rep. nadler: the clerk will report the amendment. >> mr. chairman, i reserve a point of order. rep. nadler: the gentleman reserves a point of order. clerk: amendment to the amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by representative ken buck of colorado. at the end of the resolution, insert the following paragraph. this resolution shall not be construed as authorizing the chairman to issue a subpoena for the production of information where such production would violate rule 6e of the federal rules of criminal procedure. rep. buck: thank you. rep. nadler: the gentleman is recognized to explain his amendment. rep. buck: thank you you, mr. chairman. prometheusthology, looked down from the heavens and saw man eating raw meat. in his pity, he stole fire from heaven and a fire command so they could cook his food. man used fire to forge metal and with new weapons, man went to war. this is a cautionary tale about unintended consequences, a lesson we should be mindful of today. the current special counsel regulations were adopted after congress

mr. nadler: thank you. mr. potts. mr. potts: chairman nadler, ranking member collins, distinguished members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. my name is neil potts. i'm a director at facebook with oversight of development and implementation of facebook's community standards which is the rules for what type of content we allow on the platform. i am a graduate of the united states naval academy and the university of virginia school of law and prior to joining facebook i served as an intelligence fficer in the marine corps and was deployed in support of operation iraqi freedom and enduring freedom. let me say to everyone affected by the horrific terrorist attacks in new zealand, my deepest condolences to the doctor and his family for the unimaginable loss they suffered. in the aftermath of such awful acts, it is important to stand against hate and violence. i'm here to tell you today that at facebook we continue to make that a priority in everything we do. facebook's mission is to giv

mr. nadler. mr. nadler: i thank the gentlelady for yielding. i support this amendment, which would increase the sexual assault services program authorization from $40 million to $60 million. this program provides intervention, advocacy, support, and help for those that are victims of sexual assault. this program is underfunded for the depth and bred and the work -- bredth and the work it covers. i support the amendment of the gentlelady. now, the gentleman from virginia says there is no offset. that's true. we do not need an offset. of course, we could take it from president trump's personal part of the tax -- of the $1.8 trillion tax break that republicans voted for the rich, but the fact is we don't need an offset. under the rules, the appropriation bills has to do that. this simply makes funds available for a very worthy purpose and i urge my colleagues to support this amendment. i yield back. the chair: thank you. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. reclaiming my time, madam chair. i would state to the chairman of the committee, we h

mr. nadler: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and insert extraneous material on h.r. 1585. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. pursuant to house resolution 281 and rule 18, the chair declares the house in the committee of the whole house on e state of the union for the consideration of h.r. 1585. the chair appoints the gentleman from california, mr. aguilar, to preside over the ommittee of the whole. the house is in the committee of the whole house on the state of the union for consideration of h.r. 1585, which the clerk will report by title. the clerk: a bill to re-authorizing the violence against women act of 1994 and for other purposes. the chair: pursuant to the rule, the bill is considered as read the first time. the gentleman from new york, mr. nadler, and the gentleman from georgia, mr. collins, will each control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: thank

mr. nadler and all of his people are going to ruin it for themselves and the next election because they are bitetty and they want to at the heels of a great man, donald trump. thank you. that -- let'som matt.rom tha >> i have been listening so far i did notorting and support the president in 2016, but i do now. hearing the evidence from the mueller report, it is clear that the whole notion that the trump elected alluded to be is just baseless. i understand the focus on trying to determine if he actually obstructed justice, but i trust mueller and the actions of the attorney general. because anis sad attorney general like him does his job and his integrity has been impugned, but there's no -- the only thing the democrats can say is he has just become president trump's attorney. i hope this country can move forward and make with this aside republicansork with to try to help this country. capital. look at the the report coming out on thursday. the president heading out of town, heading to mar-a-lago. we expect within the hour and might even hear some departure comments from present from. if we

mr. nadler: these grim statistics we need to act without delay and expand the act so it is more effective than it has proven to be in the past. >> -- that i hope will earn bipartisan tradition of this important law. the speaker pro tempore: ties there any objection? without objection, the reading is dispensed with. the gentlewoman is recognized. ms stefanik: in the united states one in three women have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner, one in seven have been injured, one in 10 women have been raped and one in seven women have been talked. these are more than just numbers. these are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and colleagues in this chamber. today's motion to recommit would extend the violence against women's act through 2020 to continue critical services that protect millions of women and girls across our country. i have a proven track record of supporting vawa and i'm continuing the fight by standing up for the victims and survivors to make sure their voices are heard. last year, i introduced legislation that would stepped the violence agains

mr. nadler: the trump administration has an idea. they want to redact the mueller report before they provide it to congress. the department of justice says it's a means to protect -- protect sensive -- sensitive information that would not normally be made part of the records. the mueller report probability isn't the, quote, toele to exoneration, unquote, the president claims it to be. in any event, the committee has a job to do. ongress is responsible for holding accountability for misconduct. we must see the evidence for ourselves, note attorney general's summary or the substance lrblery -- substantially redacted synopsis. the attorney general proposes to redact four cat goifers information from the mueller report. grand jury information. classified information. information related to ongoing prosecutions, and quote, information that may unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of preferal third party, close quote. the department is wrong to try to withhold that information from this committee. congress is

mr. nadler i think are the co-sponsors of that legislation. and i expect the committee to consider it and then at that point in time we'll make a decision how to move forward. mr. scalise: those pieces of legislation are just resolutions, not actual policy. ultimately, if we are going to make the stand, it has to be legislation with teeth, actual authorizing language and with the ability for us to true support to our friends, not just words, but actions as well. hopefully we can move both and i would continue to urge the gentleman's support for israel and admired by both people. i would urge we as a house move those bills, one or both of the actual substantive bills to the floor as quickly as possible. as they have moved through the senate. s. 1 had 77 votes in support. still no referral in the house. hopefully we can get that expedited. with that, on the idea of legislating by resolution. that has been a growing trend in this congress of this majority to move instead of substantive bills like lowering health care costs or creating more jobs, t

mr. nadler is doing is putting a little bit of pressure on to get as much is possible without a fight inause he doesn't know exactly what is going to happen if we go to court and he do also doesn't know what is in the report and does not know exactly what mr. barr is going to give some right now it is leverage, a little pressure on mr. barr to provide as much is possible . >> so we have the subpoena which is a legal document that will force him to do that if ruled in his favor if they take it this far but as of right now, can they force the attorney general to get out the report unredacted? >> not yet. right now they are just asking for it and then i'm sure that they would like to negotiate something that will work out. it seems like there are two steps. one step is how much will the judiciary committee get to see versus how much would the american people get to see. i think the judiciary committee right now wants to see as much as possible and it may be that they will end up me seeing more than we will . >> it is interesting that this committee also approved subpoenas for 5 former aides

mr. nadler will be authorized to issue a subpoena to require it. it should be noted mr. nadler has the authority to do that union naturally on his own, the reason we are doing it in committee is we are being fully transparent and hoping maybe our republican colleagues will join us in this oversight work and it can be done in a bipartisan way. >> as you well remember 422-0 that was the vote in terms of making the report public. >> that's right. >> you don't often see unanimous votes in the house. let me ask you this, the chairman of the judiciary committee, your colleague, jerry nadler he described william barr the attorney general as an agent of the president, questioning his impartiality in terms of his summary of the findings and judgment on obstruction of justice. do you agree with that? >> yeah, i think with he should remember both mr. barr's statements and conduct have raised real questions about the impartiality. he prepared a 17-page memo for the president of the united states, his lawyers, basically arguing no president could be accused of obstruction of justice b

mr. nadler: i was going to ask if we are ready. good afternoon. first, to observe, attorney general barr has shown an unsettling willingness to undermine his own department in order to protect president trump. his words an

mr. nadler has the right to just issue the subpoena by himself, but i think this was an important momentudiciary committee to be fully transparent, to give the republican members of our committee another opportunity to join us in this effort. you know, hope springs eternal, we hope they will come to this oversight responsibility at some point, but you know, mr. nadler sought, you know, first sought the report by way of letter to the attorney general, formally requesting it. when that was not provided, he asked the committee to authorize the issue answer of a subpoena, that's what we did today. and i know the chairman is going to continue to wshg wiork with attorney general, but if he does not give the report, he will issue the subpoena in short order. >> so, is the subpoena, then, sitting there, while you wait to see what the attorney general delivers? so, he's basically, look, i won't -- i won't use it until i see what you deliver and if you somehow deliver something that we find satisfactory, we don't issue the subpoena? should the attorney general view it that way? >> no, the better w

we will push for transparency brief we can believe does this still run in parallel do with what mr nadler is doing because there's this other big inquiry that he's trying to show and what he would say is the right direction. well the question really becomes peter is whether or not even if jerry now were the chair of the judiciary committee in the house of representatives issues these subpoenas whether or not the justice department will comply it we've seen this with other administrations even the obama administration when the attorney general was eric holder he was asked to turn over documentation at one point he refused the congress controlled them by republicans held them in contempt of congress but nothing really happened beyond that fact could happen again so we could see in this really stretching out for a very long time not getting the information made public and essentially setting up a lengthy legal bit battle between congressional democrats and the trump white house this could play out for some time which could further frustrate the public that really is just trying to get answer

mr. nadler knows that is not something -- would support. they are just trying to paint picture of other things before the mueller report comes out. elizabeth: mueller report is to come out. subpoena getting it done could take years look at "fast and furious." >> i think it just political theater. the attorney general barr has already said he is releasing the report to extent allowed under the law. chairman nadler wants to release classified information, and also information from the grand jury. this is wrong. it is show. elizabeth: all right congressman lesko thank you so much. >> thank you. elizabeth: we have breaking news on brexit, britain house of common approved a bill to compel government to avoid a no deal brexit. we'll stay on that story. >> the news is coming thick. coming up, i don' joe biden addg accusation from 4women now who say he allegedly inappropriate touched him. we're in the "me too" era. coming up next. yes! i just wanted to show you something i've been wor... ♪ james r. and associates. anna speaking... ♪ james r. and as

mr. nadler interested in any of this. >> of course not.interested, is nancy pelosi interested, how about 98% of the media. are they interested in any of this. >> not the least bit. it doesn't fit the narrative and it doesn't hurt the president who one. all these activities that are going on, do you think, apart from the base on either side politically, the american people watching us, those who are paying attention which is not most of us, what you think they make of this. >> basie washington behaving in a way that's ill relevant to their life and spinning their wheels in the mud, and i picked mud intentionally just practicing the politics of personal distraction. they voted and i think the america average american view is get on with it, it being the business of government. we look at what's going on with the border, there's a desperate need for congressional action. they acknowledge it and yet do nothing. they send out subpoenas without a basis to fight wars with the president that have already been investigated by mueller and nothing ge

mr. nadler, chairman nadler, and mr. schiff, elijah cummings, and the others. they really want to continue this episode. >> julie: okay, so the question now, what do you believe? does this report exonerate the president or not? >> i do, i think it was a home run for the president. in both areas. clearly there was no collusion, and secondarily, there are problems with the mueller team's interpretation of what obstruction of justice is. i think you know what you're seeing is really a trial run, whether the country can withstand an impeachment hearing. i think that's what they're trying to do. >> julie: obstruction of justice is something they swear would be in there. that's why judiciary chair jerry nadler is basically saying he's going to issue a subpoena today for the unredacted mueller report, because they're desperate to prove what is the been trying to prove all this time even though right now it hasn't been proven. i want to just show you what he said regarding the question of obstruction to congress. let's put that on the screen. the special prosecutor mad

mr. nadler. hello, mr. schiff. hello, ms. p pelosi. they rejected an offer to review a less redacte redacted report t week. they went the whole enchilada. president trump blasting statements made against him in what he calls the crazy mueller report. president trump tweeting, quote, because i never agreed to testify, it was not necessary for me to respond to statements made in the quote report about me. some of which are total bull -- the president can say it and i can say it. -- total bullshit. given for m them to look good ad me to look bad. this is a hoax that never should have happened. joining me now, gregg jarrett, "the new york times" best selling author "the russia hoax." and what a hoax it was. good to have you here. >> great to be here. lou: i love the crafting of the response to the justice department to the nadler suicidal subpoena. >> it's ironic that the people are demappedding t demanding tot when william barr offers to show it to them. i don't think a federal judge is going to look kindly on that. it's and uphill climb

mr. nadler has that scheduled. but again, what i would expect though is that the white house will continue to fight anybody coming before the congress. in other words, they basically would do away with the congress and there would be no dpng it were this white house. i want to say to the public, understand we are laser focus ode what we have to do. we realize that people are impatient and they anxiously want to see this president impeached. on the other hand they have to understand if we are going do that, we are also going to deal with all of the issues like the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs and the aca, the affordable care act and preexisting conditions and things of that nature. we are doing all of those things, too. we are going down two lanes. >> i know you have the committee working on things regarding drug prices and that's important to the american people, but is it not possible to work on the drug price issue and things you mentioned and pursue the impeachment lane if the white house is simply

mr. nadler won't say if he's going to issue the subpoena for the full report for the attorney general releasesport. do you think that's the right approach? >> yes, i think it makes sense to see what he's going to see, what the attorney general is going to release before you decide whether to issue the subpoena. but, you know, it is the department of justice's official position that congress is the right place to adjudicate presidential wrongdoing. and i think it would make sense for the department then to give congress access to evidence it needs to evaluate that question. >> unlike barr, john, mueller is not a trump appointee. he's seen as a straight shooter. how important is it that we hear from mueller? >> i think it's very important. but by reputation mueller is a long-term law enforcement person. he's a straight shooter and someone who will follow the marching orders. if the department tells him what he can and can't say he will follow that advice. it's important to get his take on what he found. >> gentlemen, thank you for your take, i appreciate it. >>> we're learning more about the chi

mr. nadler and the democrats in congress to see if there is enough juice for impeachment that the americanublic will support. in other words, they will do this as a test run. if they don't go down in numbers, stay even or go up, they will go forward with impeachment. if it is tough for him, they are not going to impeach. charles: the idea if some of these things are ultimately rejected or there is limited access to them, you know, are they going to just continue to complain about those sort of things? i think the american public is really done with this. how you feel about it, how you feel about it. seems it would be a huge political mistake to keep harping on it. >> this is exactly right. this is baked into the political process now. it's done. i can't tell you how many people i've talked to been out last couple days, anything the mueller report is coming, we knew what was going to be in it, no surprises in it, they said it is over with. let's move on. that is where the american public is. charles: nancy pelosi, steny hoyer, cory booker say let's move on from impeachment to other things.

mr. nadler said he might issue a subpoena for the attorney general if he refuses to appear pretty >> tomorrow, former vice president joe biden kicks off his presidential campaign with a rally in pittsburgh. live live on c-span3, on -- online at c-span.org. host: our guest on "c-span's newsmakers" is ralph reed. since the 1980's, he has been working to mobilize christian voters, first through the christian coalition and now through the faith and freedom coalition, which he founded in 2009 and now serves as chairman. the group posts 1.8 million members nationwide. you may not know this, but he has a phd in american history from emory university. mr. reid, thanks for coming back to c-span today.

mr. nadler has a right to see the entire report. i'm not -- not a slightly redacted report, not a lightly redacted report. he has a right as the chairman that have committee to see the entire report and to see all of the evidence. and so i think he'll be looking for how much redaction there is. that's not enough because he has a right to see the evidence before grand jury, the evidence from subpoenas, to see it all. he's the chairman of the husband judiciary committee and has the right on behalf of the american people to conduct the investigation that our constitution impressed him with which is to look into whether there's an impeachable offense here. i think there may well be. >> we have to squeeze in a commercial break here. thank you both for joining us on this important night. when we come back, the focus tomorrow will also be on the part of the report that deals with the russian government's con piracy to interfere with our election and support the candidacy of donald trump. how much evidence will we see of how the trump campa

mr. nadler have complete agreement despite all their other disagreements that day want to see the whole thing. and so the question of what's under these redactions and ongoing matters be they in the stone case, he has rights as a criminal defendant, or the wikileaks case or other sections, i think there's that question of, wait a minute, what can i get out of more information? i've had texts coming in from mr. carter page and other people as part of my reporting. everyone has angles on this. again, you can, if you're good at redactions, you can redact small things. it looks like there's only 10% or less redacted but might be the most important things. agains i'm not done reading this report, full disclosure. as i hit the wikileaks section, i found it striking that that is a place where there are whole pages, brian, whole pages red t redacted by the barr/mueller process, if you want to call it that, which doesn't tell us what's underneath them. >> thank you, ari melber. to our viewers, as we come up on 1:00, our graphics folks have done us the great favor of making a bound copy for us. for tho

mr. nadler? i cooperate all the time with everybody. >> a pledge to cooperate. and yet the actions of the president and the white house tell a different story. katlyn colins is outfront live outside the white house. stonewalling seems to be a major part of the strategy there. >> yeah, today the white house is essentially testing the power of congress. in in letter mnuchin is pushing the deadline to may the 6th on whether or not to decide to release the president's taxes because he says he is waiting on legal conclusions from the justice department. but if you read this letter that he sent to the house ways and means committee today, it does not sound -- or it does sound like he is laying the groundwork to deny the request. he cited legal concerns, constitutional requirements, and also the reason the people who want the president's taxes want them. in addition to the letter citing several democrats saying they are seeking the president's tax returns and essentially the treasury secretary is expressing concern that these democrats only want the president's tax ret

mr. nadler did this.ey general saying look, we can go this route if you play games with us. if you try to be overzealous in executive privilege, and classified information indications. we don't necessarily want to go there but we can do this and we can have this fight. i'm willing to get the benefit of that out. former director james comey is willing to give him benefit of the doubt. let's see what we get first and depending on how overzealous it is then let's see just how nested his political and legal wars are going to get. >> shannon: there's this whole conversation about whether damaging, derogatory information on the president should be released if he's not going to be facing any kind of indictment or legal trouble because we all saw then-fbi director james comey got in trouble because he unloaded, many people thought, a whole case against phil flynn but she wasn't going to have a chance to defend herself in court. so where do we go with that you met people in the hill are going to want to see everyt

mr. nadler's position is no, actually, what we're anticipating for fits within one of the exceptions. we're an investigation. we have the right to see this. barr is saying congress can see almost all of this, with only the grand jury secrecy limitations, which he says he's stuck with under the law. he's going to let them see the rest of it. they'll have to come and look at it. he's not going to make 535 copies of this available, but that does seem to undercut a little bit of the congressional argument here, but, you know, mike is right. if the justice department says no, i'm sorry, we're stuck with this grand jury thing, it goes to court, it's going to take a couple of years to resolve. it's not going to be over quickly. >> not going to be over quickly. pete, julia, ken, thank you so much. these three have been working 24/7. i appreciate your extraordinary work. >>> up next, you don't want to miss this. the headline a lot of people seem to be missing is that the mueller report confirmed that russians did interfere in the 2016 election. we know that. that is a fact. but what are we doi

mr. nadler's statement and of course he's unhappy about the fact that barr is going to hold this press conference at 9:30 in the morning and a few hours later, the members of congress will have the report. he thinks that's not right and on and on and on. i never expected barr to do anything that would be respectful to the members of congress or to include us in any real way. he has proven himself. he auditioned for this job. he was chosen to protect the president of the united states and that's exactly what he's doing. i'm not surprised. i'm not even disgusted because i knew that once he came out and he said there had been no obstruction of justice and no collusion, that he absolutely stepped out early to defend the president, to protect the president. i don't expect any reversal of that. i expect him to continue to play the role. he is basically a lackey for the president of the united states of america. this report is going to be overly redacted and i don't know if we are going to get anything new or important out of that. i just wish that the mueller team would come forward and i hope that mue

mr. nadler is taking action to allow him to issue subpoenas. whether or not he actually issues them would be a question to ask him. but this would give him the official authority to do so. but, let's be clear about this. mr. barr wants to redact a sizable amount of information. and i don't think that's acceptable to us. if, in fact, it's just grand jury testimony or third parties, well, many third parties, frankly, maybe persons of interest that we would want to investigate, so i'm not at all sanguine with the idea that we're giving the attorney general, who has already said that he thought the mueller investigation was bogus, so, he's not a third party independent voice here. he is a -- he is an attorney for the president, which has never been the case for the attorney general of the united states. >> let's turn to the work of your other committee, the oversight committee. you voted today to subpoena carl kline, a former white house official, who apparently played a key role in granting security clearances to officials who had initially been d

mr. nadler or adam schiff or others on the partisan side are going to be do a better job investigating whatr. miller did. i think is a fools errand and one that ultimately will be politically damaging. eric: and the president's behavior revealed in this retreat supposedly ordering the white house counsel to fire robert mueller, telling lewandowski about sessions, misleading the white house press corps you know on the one occasion specifically and the fact that the president was not exonerated. i will review the exact words. this report does not conclude the president committed a crime. there is the good news. it also does not exonerate him. but very clear and they did not bring charges, not because they said they did have proof, they didn't bring charges because of the department of justice rules prevented that. >> i think the key language is what you started with there which is deeply troubled. that is not the standard for impeachment. if the democrat said that politically speaking, they of the evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors as they would like to pursue they are within their righ

mr. nadler in his current position as head of one of the committees investigating mr. p, the judiciary committee. says that trump and nadler are currently in main foes in a constitutional clash over power in an aggressive move to regulate the president's conduct. but they are a reminder that the animosity between the two dub native new yorkers is possible as well as political, rooted in . decades old fight the fight began in the 1980's , a statenadler assembly man and later congressman proved to be an obstacle to a real estate development that mr. trump and vision for manhattan's west turf.which is nadler's if you look at our c-span archives, you'll find mr. joe nadler before he was head of the judiciary committee commenting on these things. website, to the lef here is jerry nadler, here he is. >> i would like to offer an amendment to keep valuable taxpayer dollars from being wasted on an outrageous boondoggle in my district of new york. the issue is simple. the miller highway, which is 13 ,locks long, the entire thing half a mile, was a most on aetely rebuilt five year

mr. nadler has proposed an additional round that would allow for each side to question the attorney generalor 30 minutes. that round of questioning would also allow the committee counsels for both parties to question mr. barr. the attorney general has rejected the additional rows of questioning but it is possible a deal can be reached before thursday's scheduled hearing. chairman nadler said today the committee might issue a subpoena for the attorney general if he refuses to appear. are finishing up their two-week congressional recess. they returned to capitol hill on monday. the house plans to work on climate change legislation, which is a democratic priority. the senate will take up the president's veto of a war powers resolution to end u.s. military involvement in yemen. here is more on the climate change measure from a capitol hill reporter. christina marcos of the hill joins us as congress returns from the holiday recess. the house and senate hearings with attorney general barr will be the focus off the floor. on the house floor, members are taking up climate change legislation in the

mr. wasson: like jerry nadler i have been skimming it, looking for the highlights. i have not read every page but it did make interesting reading, especially surrounding the firing of james comey, the attempts by president trump to get donald mccann, his counsel, to change the record as to whether he was going to be asked to fire robert mueller. i thought that was very significant. and of

mr. nadler had to say on the question of impeachment. >> if proven, which hasn't been proven yet, some of this, if proven some of this would be impeachable, yes. david: today nancy is meeting to figure outs this impeachment thing. as a practical matter, listen to your with the president's policy , getting anything through? >> there wasn't much of a chance before the mullah report and there's less of a chance afterwards. i do think that impeachment can never be successful if it's not bipartisan and so far there has only been one republican who gave a full throated concern over what the mullah report found, and that's mitt romney. the rest of the republican leadership once nothing to do or seemingly wants nothing to do with the mueller findings. so, without bipartisan support, impeachment will fail. alix: how does the market need to look at this? christine: the market tends not to care, it seems. politics have had very little impact on the markets erie that's a symptom of the fact that many companies do business in countries that aren't even democracies. it's a relevant, they care more abou

mr. nadler was speaking is fox news senior capitol hill producer chad pergram. it's been some day here.scalates this fight between the judiciary committee and the justice department over the release of this. keep in mind that they voted just to authorize subpoenas. they aren't actually sending them down to the justice department yet. jerry nadler says we need to get our hands on this and he will pull the trigger to send them down to the justice department if he doesn't get what he needs. it was a party line vote, 24-17. now, jerry nadler, as he indicated there, he wants the full report, no redaction. that doesn't mean they are going to release it to the public. he thinks that the committee should at least be able to see that. but if william barr, the attorney general, sends up a heavily redacted report, that's a problem and i posed that exact question to doug collins, republican from georgia. he's the top republican on the judiciary committee. listen. reporter: is there a problem for barr here if he sends up the report and it is heavily redacted and we understand why it may be heavily r

mr. nadler' community? what is the threat? -- what is the sweat?ming the entire report, more than 400 pages not including appendixes and footnotes will be delivered to congress sometime in mid april. the chairman and democrats' pressure not doing much in trying to force the issue. republicans i talk with say they are on board to having the entire report released in that at will come out in the coming weeks. we will get it by the end of the month. tom: do we have any sense within the conversations you have had of the mystery of this, what is in the mueller report? kevin: it will be a new narrative -- not necessarily new , but precisely what went on during the campaign as well as in the early parts of the administration. the congressional committees in the democratic-controlled house are starting to issue subpoenas on a host of topics ranging from the dog ration -- inauguration to finances. from the mueller report perspective, democrats and republicans wanting to see what is in the report, everyone has been talking about it, but the timeline is mid a
