Top of the hour, youre watching cnn, im brooke baldwin. We have more breaking news at the white house. The white House Counsel has flatly rejected the House Judicial Committee request for documents in a sweeping investigation of possible obstruction of justice and abuses of power. The house judiciary chairman jerry nadler responding this way. This is the white house claiming that the president is a king. This is the white house saying that the Justice Department said they cant hold the president accountable because you cant indict a president and now theyre saying neither can congress so the president is totally unaccountable and above the law and no president or no person in the United States is amove the law.
