On the recordSeptember 16, 2019
The president knew what he was doing was wrong, because everyone else had already said 'no'. He called his White House counsel to fire the special counsel. McGahn said no. He called the attorney general to ask him to unrecuse himself from the special counsel's investigation. Sessions said 'no'. His White House counsel said there should be no contact with Sessions, because of his recusal. So what does the president do? He calls you in to do what everyone else wouldn't do. He called you in to do his dirty work in secret, because he knew it was wrong. Well, we will expose the truth and the president cannot hide behind you any longer. And you should be here to tell the truth because the truth will set you free and the American people.
