Neal Katyal said President Donald Trump is trying to 'run out the clock' by refusing to comply with subpoenas to turn over evidence and witnesses in the impeachment inquiry.
President Donald Trump will go"down in flames" just like Richard Nixon if he continues his attempts to stonewall the ongoing impeachment inquiry, a former acting solicitor general of the U.S. has said., Neal Katyal said the Trump administration's strategy on the probe has been a"complete utter resistance to getting the truth out.
"There's one president who tried that before. His name was Richard Nixon and he went down in flames," Katyal said."And I suspect the same thing will happen here if the president does this." However, Katyal suggested that Trump aides are defying the strategy by telling the"truth to the American people," referencing reports that Mike Pompeo's former senior adviser, Michael McKinley, is set to testify.
"The White House is up to, you called it a stonewall, it's more than that, it's like an avalanche wall," Katyal told Melber. "It's just the complete utter resistance to getting the truth out and it started with trying to suppress the whistleblower report months ago and has continued so that they have said, for example, you know that Ambassador [George] Sondland can't testify, Fiona Hill can't testify, former Ambassador [Marie] Yovanovitch can't testify."There's one president who tried that before. His name was Richard Nixon and he went down in flames.
