WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top Democratic lawmaker warned U.S. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker on Tuesday not to dodge questions about the Russia investigation when he testifies before the House Judiciary Committee, and provided him with a list of prepared questions before the congressional hearing.
In a letter to Whitaker, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said the panel expects "direct answers" next month about his communications with White House officials, and added that he wants to be notified in advance if the White House plans to invoke executive privilege on the answers.
