“The law requires that when there is a dispute in court between the legislative and executive branches, the two must work in good faith to find a compromise — and I am pleased that we have reached an arrangement that satisfies our subpoena, protects the Committee’s constitutional duty to conduct oversight in the future, and safeguards sensitive executive branch prerogatives,” Nadler said in a news release.
Ross Garber, who teaches political investigations and impeachment at Tulane Law School, said the House’s Trump-era investigation tactics have resulted in an erosion of congressional oversight and impeachment authority.
“In the McGahn saga, the House was ham-handed, reached no prompt deal on accommodation, took many months to seek enforcement of its subpoena, did little to try to expedite the case, and ultimately settled for nothing,” Garber said.
Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University who was a Republican-called witness during a December 2019 committee impeachment hearing, said he wasn’t sure why Nadler was so pleased and called it making a “sow’s ear into a silk purse.”
“The result is that his testimony may yield little new information,” Turley said of the McGahn agreement. “Indeed, the agreement is designed to stay within the confines of what is already known.”
