House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., cut Rep. Matt Gaetz’s, R-Fla., mic at Thursday’s hearing about the Mueller report, where members sparred over Attorney General William Barr’s decision to not attend after Democrats insisted committee lawyers be allowed to question him. Gaetz took to Twitter to admonish Nadler’s mic-pull tweeting “Judiciary Democrats say AG Barr is "terrified." Today, they cut off my microphone. He proceeded to walk out of the hearing room when he realized his mic had no sound. Nadler has threatened to issue a citation in contempt of Congress against Barr since he did not attend the hearing.
