Reclaiming my time. Would the chair please instruct General Whitaker that if he does not answer the questions as asked he can be subpoenaed and deposed?
[Nadler does so]
Thank you Mr. Chairman. General Whitaker, yes or no, were you aware as a private citizen that the president watches a lot of cable news?

Reclaiming my time. I can assure you that the great men and women of the Department of Justice do not appreciate you making a mockery of this hearing, nor do the American people. These are simple questions I have, and you refuse to answer. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to submit all of these questions in writing for the deposition of this witness in case he does not answer.
[Nadler agrees]
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Acting General Whitaker, you'll answer these questions one way or another. Yes or no, were you aware as a private citizen that the president watches a lot of cable news?

You are not above the law, nor are you above the Constitution or the powers of this Congress. Do you think that this hearing is a joke?
