A CNN panel criticized Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) and House Democrats on Friday for their behavior during a closed-door House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier in the week with former White House communications director Hope Hicks.
A 273-page transcript of the private hearing was released on Thursday night, revealing that committee chairman Nadler addressed Hicks by the last name of President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, three times.
