“I am prepared to schedule a meeting of the Committee on Monday, December 9, 2019 to consider any such referrals,” Nadler wrote to Collins.
A Republican Judiciary aide told The Hill in an email that Nadler has not responded to four recent letters from Republicans with concerns about the impeachment probe.
The aide also said that Republicans hope to hear from Nadler about why he is setting deadlines before receiving the Intelligence Committee’s report.
The resolution on impeachment passed by the House last month says that the judiciary ranking minority member is allowed to require subpoenas and interrogatories “with the concurrence of the chair.”
If the chair doesn’t agree, then the ranking member can refer the decision to the committee.
The chairman’s letters follow two weeks of public testimony this month in the impeachment hearing into President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.
