Hogan Gidley: Nadler Subpoena 'Just More Political Grandstanding'

White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley

Robert Mueller's report reveals that the American people were lied to for more than two years about President Donald Trump and collusion with Russia, and "someone has to answer for that," but instead, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler and other Democrats want to dig deeper, White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley said Friday.

"If we gave him all the tax returns, unredacted as well, he would still want something else," Gidley told Fox News' "America's Newsroom," after Nadler, D-NY, issued a subpoena for the full, unredacted Mueller report. "The Democrats have nothing to talk about. They don't want to talk about their agenda, about making America socialist. Making their agenda of infanticide, or the Green New Deal that would destroy this company's economy. No, they would rather talk about this president. It is absolutely ridiculous."

The White House has been cooperating all along and will continue to do so, he added, but the subpoena is "just more political grandstanding by someone who has nothing to run on, nothing to talk about, other than trying to attack a man, who has now been proven completely innocent of any crime."

He also slammed Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for his claims of evidence against Trump, saying that now that the report is out, he's changed his tune and now says there must be "overwhelming" evidence before impeachment proceedings can be considered.

"You've been on network television telling everyone you have this evidence," Gidley said of Schiff. "It's time to put up or shut up. If you have the evidence, show it. The problem is he doesn't, he's been lying to the American people."
