House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she agrees with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) that the country is in a “constitutional crisis” due to President Trump’s stonewalling of congressional investigations. I do agree with Chairman Nadler, because the administration has decided that they are not going to honor their oath of office,” Pelosi told reporters at her weekly news conference. “We’ve talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in a constitutional crisis.”Pelosi signaled Thursday that lawmakers may vote to hold more Trump administration officials in contempt. He disputed Pelosi and Nadler’s assertion that there is a “constitutional crisis” over the standoff.
