tRump and his family are guilty as hell! - NPR "Congress' Showdown With The Executive Branch"

Trump, demonstrates over and over and over again he is guilty as hell and is hiding information!

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., wants the full, unredacted report of special counsel Robert Mueller. The Justice Department says it can't comply under federal regulations.

Nadler also wants Mueller himself to testify, as well as documents from former White House counsel Don McGahn — and, potentially for McGahn or others to testify, too.

The White House says McGahn cannot give up the documents the Judiciary Committee has requested, and McGahn's lawyer says he's not going to do anything until this dispute is resolved.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Richard Neal, D-Mass., wants Trump's tax returns. The Treasury Department won't provide them. So Neal issued subpoenas on Friday to try to compel their release.

The leaders of the House intelligence and the House financial services committees want financial records about Trump's business dealings from some of his creditors, Deutsche Bank and Capital One. Trump and his family are suing those banks, seeking to block them from complying.

There could be other requests for documents or testimony — and Trump has made clear they'll likely be challenged by the administration.

President Trump: "We're fighting all the subpoenas."
