House Judiciary Committee Democrats have called acting DHS Secretary McAleenan to testify about being offered a pardon by Trump in exchange for breaking immigration laws.
The Washington Post reported:
In a new letter, they demand that McAleenan make himself available to the committee for questioning about this matter. And theyre also looking into reports that Trump also pressured his former DHS secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, to close the border in violation of the law. Her refusal to do so was one reason that Trump ousted her.
Democrats request the following information:
1. A list identifying all Department employees present for your meeting with President Trump in Calexico, California on or around April 5, 2019
2. A list identifying all Department employees present for President Trumps April 5, 2019 meeting with border patrol agents, including but not limited to any DHS personnel instructed by President Trump to not let migrants into the country.
3. Documents and communications relating to Secretary Nielsens meeting with President Trump on or about March 21, 2019 to discuss reinstating the zero-tolerance policy and closing the U.S. Mexico border at El Paso, Texas.
The letter also demands that any of these others who might have witnessed these conversations should be prepared to testify as well.
