“Every day, they are advertising their obstruction of justice by ignoring subpoenas and by declaring that people shouldn’t come and speak to Congress,” the House speaker said.
As the tension between House Democrats and the White House continued to escalate this week with a contempt citation issued to the attorney general, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she agreed with a Democratic colleague that America is in a “constitutional crisis.”

“We’re talking about a cumulative effect of obstruction that the administration is engaged in, and the president declaring that he is not going to honor subpoenas from the Congress,” Pelosi said. “So, I support the path that our chairmen are on, and I do believe that it will establish the case for where we go from here.”
"We're going to do the right thing.... It's going to be based on fact, law and patriotism—not partisanship or anything else," she continued."We want to do it in a way that’s the least divisive to our country and the most productive."
