WASHINGTON — Former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker is returning to Capitol Hill to clarify his testimony about several matters, including his communications with President Donald Trump.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said after Whitaker’s public testimony in February that his answers were “unsatisfactory, incomplete or contradicted by other evidence.” Nadler said Whitaker didn’t offer clear responses about his communications with the White House and was inconsistent about which questions he refused to answer.
Nadler asked Whitaker to return to the committee to clarify his answers. Whitaker, who has since left the Justice Department, will meet Wednesday afternoon with Nadler and the committee’s top Republican, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins.
