administration s pandemic response. that s according to a letter from navarro released by the panel. the former trade adviser cited a direct order from donald trump to claim executive privilege. the house select committee on the crisis made the letter public on saturday when its chairman, south carolina congressman jim clyburn sent a letter in response to navarro s refusal saying your refusal to comply with this subpoena in its entirety is improper. white house advisers such as yourself can t avoid compel congressional process. navarro says the quote matter is out of my hands and something the subcommittee should discuss with president trump s council. he s scheduled for a deposition with the subcommittee on wednesday.
you never miss an episode of hannity. thank you as always for being with us. you make this show possible. let not your heart be troubled, the ingraham angle is next. we hope you have a great weekend. we will see you back here on monday. i m raymond arroyo in for laura ingraham on a big news night. this is the ingraham angle. news breaking on capitol hill. remember when the democrats ridiculed the trump administration for not being able to navigate the congressional process. at least he was new to politics. after hours of try to corral both in her caucus, the best nancy pelosi and her team could come up with was a negotiation between moderates and progressives and her party which is tenuous at best.
two minutes. the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. why are we here on the floor of the house of representatives listening to the democrats and socialists and their republican puppets, reviewing steve bannon s podcast? i can t imagine that would be the case if they actually had a bill, a reconciliation deal, legislation to help the american people. we re not here because of democracy. save me the alligator tears on that. these are the folks who assaulted our democracy for two years under the spector of the russia hoax. it s sure not about violence because they didn t seem to give a damn when our country was being engulfed in flames during the riots in the summer of 2020. it s not about congressional process. if it was about congressional process, democrats would be doing what they have done in other cases. they would go to court. but the reason they haven t gone to court, like they did for trump s taxes, in the deutsche bank subpoenas, in the mazers
court for the reasons explained above that with respect to senior-level aides absolute immunity from compelled congressional process simply does not exist. do you think that s still good law? i believe that mccann case is still good law. recently the department of justice informed a federal district court that conspiring to prevent the lawful certification of the 2020 election and to injure members of congress in inciting the riot at the capitol would fall outside the scope of employment of an officer or employee of the united states of america. since your department filed that i assume you agree with that. yes. so i just want to mention i won t ask you about what your department will do if the house of representatives adopts a referral to your department because i take you at your word
