| Video Discription | (8 Feb 2019) Ahead of a presidential visit Monday to El Paso, Texas, the area's Democrat Representative Veronica Escobar Friday peppered acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker with questions about the Trump administration's immigration and asylum policies. The Trump administration last week quietly launched an effort to make asylum seekers wait in Mexico while their cases wind through U.S. immigration courts, despite clear reservations and conflicting messages from the Mexican government. Escobar questioned Whitaker about asylum seekers' ability to have access to legal counsel. "As the acting Attorney General I cannot make an assurance especially regarding what happens in a foreign country. I mean, I I know you understand that," Whitaker said. In response, Escobar said, "And this is part of the reason why this is such a terrible policy." Whitaker was wrapping up a day of testimony before the House Judiciary committee about his overseeing the special counsel's Russia investigation when he made those remarks. Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler described Whitaker's testimony as "at best inconsistent," on communications with the White House over the investigation. "It is not credible that you both interviewed for a job handling the president's response to the special counsel's investigation and never conveyed your opinions about that investigation to the White House," Nadler said. The hearing before the House Judiciary Committee was the first, and likely only, chance for newly empowered Democrats in the majority to grill an attorney general they perceive as a Donald Trump loyalist and whose appointment they suspect was aimed at suppressing investigations of the Republican president. Republicans made clear they viewed the hearing as pointless political grandstanding, especially since Whitaker may have less than a week left as the country's chief law enforcement officer. Whitaker is likely in his final days as the country's chief law enforcement officer because the Senate plans to vote as soon as next week on confirming Barr.
