There s stronger evidence, more bipartisan buy-in. i think there s a concern that if they do that republicans will say oh, you spent your year in the majority going after the president instead of doing things to help americans. shepard: along the way while working toward that end of getting more information, nadler is talking about these grand jury the sealed grand jury stuff. that is one thing. don mcgahn testimony, that i think will be important to them. if they get it. shepard: it s important to them to try to get it. the don mcgahn testimony is something that the democrats really want. yeah, if you read volume 2 of the mueller report, some of the most damaging allegations against the president are that repeatedly the president pressed don mcgahn and his white house counsel to basically get the justice department to fire robert mueller and end the special counsel s investigation. when that was reported by the new york times that reportedly
According to the mueller report the president told mcgahn, you have to deny that. mcgahn refused to do that. sure, that would be i say sure, it would be damaging testimony, but on the other hand a lot of people thought that robert mueller was damaging testimony and that didn t work out the way that people thought. shepard: it wasn t the movie is better than the book. no. shepard: thanks, chris. we ll look for you sunday on fox news sunday. he will take with mick mulvaney and others. that s this sunday on your local fox station. fox news has a new batch of polling that shows in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, joe biden would beat the president by a comfortable margin. ten percentage points nationwide. same spread as last month and outside the margin of a error. the president tweeted about the polling. fox news is at it again, he wrote. so different from what they used to be during the 2016 primaries and before. proud warriors.
Keep investigating. chairman nadler says that he will go to court if the former white house counsel don mcgahn does not comply with a subpoena. mcgahn is an important fact witness. he sat for 30 hours of questioning from the mueller team and his name is in the mueller report more than 500 times. republicans from the judiciary committee have argued that democrats have no right to the grand jury material and should propose a bill to get access to it. the chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel reporting live on capitol hill. mike? good afternoon. the house judiciary chairman is sending a clear signal that even though lawmakers are leaving the house for a six-week recess, the investigation work continues and lawmakers are not bound to the former special counsel s report. appears to be compelling evidence of the president s misconduct outside of the four corners of the redacted version of the mueller report. and we will work to uncover that
