In light of that commitment, Acting Attorney General Whitaker looks forward to voluntarily appearing at tomorrow’s hearing and discussing the great work of the Department of Justice." "Weeks ago, in good faith, I voluntarily agreed to appear and testify on February 8 before the House Judiciary Committee," Whitaker wrote to Nadler on Thursday afternoon. Collins said it was "choreographed by the chairman and starring the acting attorney general as some mythological protector of secrets." In a separate letter sent to Nadler, Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd demanded a response on the subpoena question. "Without the threat of a subpoena, I believe it may be difficult to hold Mr. Whitaker to this standard," Nadler said.
