Matthew Whitaker’s testimony before Congress was inconsistent, evasive, and belligerent.
He stated that he hadn’t meddled in the Mueller investigation, & has not briefed Trump or anyone in the WH on it.
If he lied, as multiple leaks indicate, it’s perjury before Congress.

Chairman Nadler informed Whitaker that he will be compelled to provide sworn testimony in the coming days during which he must answer the questions he evaded, declare exec privilege (which the Trump admin hasn’t declared yet) or face subpoena.

In 2017, Whitaker interviewed with Don McGahn to become Trump’s top Russia probe lawyer. He claims the subject of the probe never came up. 🤔 That strains credibility.
No answer for why he ignored advice of DOJ ethics lawyers that he should recuse.

Whitaker was an asshole throughout the hearing. At one point, he tried to duck questions from Nadler by stating that the chairmen’s 5 mins were up.

At one point, Whitaker was flippant to Rep Sheila Jackson-Lee, and she was not having any of it.
