BREAKING: Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler Retiring, Will Not Seek Reelection

Published

on

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) will not be seeking reelection, according to The New York Times.

The 78-year-old lawmaker said that someone younger will do a better job right now as the Democrat party tries to court the younger generation.

Nadler, who spent 34 years in Congress, is the longest-serving House member in New York.

According to The Times, Nadler may support his former aide, Micah Lasher, to succeed him.

The New York Times reported:

Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who has been one of Congress’s leading liberal voices for three decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party.

The decision will mark the close of a 34-year congressional career that put Mr. Nadler at the center of major civil rights battles and three presidential impeachments. It will also almost certainly touch off a crowded primary fight over a rare open Democratic seat in the heart of Manhattan.

In a recent interview in his downtown Manhattan office, Mr. Nadler, 78, said he hesitated to step aside when he believes that President Trump is threatening the foundations of democracy. But he said he had been persuaded it was time for a changing of the guard.

“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Mr. Nadler said, adding that a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”

Nadler will be remembered for his role as an impeachment manager during Trump’s first term. Nadler lied about Trump and viciously attacked him as a “dictator” from the Senate floor.

President Trump did not hold anything back on Wednesday during his speech to global leaders at the World Economic Forum.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced on Tuesday that he will meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and “the various parties” on his planned acquisition of Greenland, which he described as “imperative for National and World Security.”

“I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can’t wait to see you,” Rutte said to Trump in a text message that the President shared.

During his speech, President Trump took a swipe at Canada’s far left prime minister. Trump called out Mark Carney for acting so cocky.

President Trump: We’re going to be defending Canada. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful also, but they’re not. I watched your Prime Minister yesterday. He wasn’t so grateful. They should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements?

Comer Delivers Blistering Statement Ahead of Vote to Advance Clinton Contempt Resolutions (VIDEO)

A congressional hearing featuring Mr. Comer speaking, with two images displayed, one showing a man in a chair and the other depicting a person in a pool.

House Judiciary Chairman James Comer on Wednesday delivered a blistering opening statement ahead of a vote to advance the contempt resolutions against the Clintons.

Bill and Hillary Clinton snubbed congressional subpoenas for the Committee’s Epstein probe and refused to appear for close-door depositions last week.

Comer said contempt proceedings will begin on Wednesday after the Clintons made new outrageous demands.

“Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only. No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected the Clintons’ ridiculous offer,” Comer said on Tuesday.

“The Clintons’ latest demands make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment. The House Oversight Committee’s bipartisan subpoenas require the Clintons to appear for depositions that are under oath and transcribed. Former President Clinton has a documented history of parsing language to evade questions, responded falsely under oath, and was impeached and suspended from the practice of law as a result,” Comer said.

“The absence of an official transcript is an indefensible demand that is insulting to the American people who demand answers about Epstein’s crimes. As part of our investigation, the House Oversight Committee has released transcripts of interviews with former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and former U.S. Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta, which has provided much needed transparency to the public. Without a formal record, Americans would be left to rely on competing accounts of what was said,” Comer added.

“Former Secretary Clinton’s on-the-record testimony is necessary for the Committee’s investigation given her knowledge from her time as Secretary of State of the federal government’s work to counter international sex-tracking rings, her personal knowledge of Ms. Maxwell, and her family’s relationship with Mr. Epstein,” he added.

On Wednesday, Comer blasted the Clintons as he sat in front of photos of Bill Clinton in a hot tub with Epstein’s ‘madam’ Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Subpoenas are not mere suggestions. They carry the force of law and require compliance. Former President Clinton and Secretary Clinton were legally required to appear for depositions before this committee. They refused,” Comer said.

“Since issuing the subpoenas, this committee has acted in good faith. We’ve offered flexibility on scheduling. The response we received was not cooperation, but defiance, marked by repeated delays, excuses, and obstruction,” Comer said.

“Today, the Clintons must be held accountable for their actions. And Democrats must support these measures or they will be exposed as hypocrites,” he added.

The resolutions are expected to advance.
