House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler said Sunday all Senate Republicans who voted to acquit President Donald Trump during his impeachment trial were "corrupt."

Speaking with CNN's Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,“ Nadler repeatedly called Senate Republicans corrupt for failing to remove the president and investigate allegations of malfeasance. His remarks came after Attorney General William Barr dramatically ousted U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who was heading investigations into Trump and his allies, and after former national security adviser John Bolton offered damning new allegations about the president in his soon-to-be released book.

Tapper asked if Nadler agreed with calls to impeach Barr, and the New York Democrat responded tersely that to do so would be a waste of time.

"We have a corrupt Republican majority in the Senate, which will not consider impeachment no matter what the evidence and no matter what the facts," Nadler said.

During Trump's January impeachment trial, Senate Republicans voted largely on party lines to acquit the president of obstructing Congress and abusing his power. (Utah Sen. Mitt Romney voted to convict Trump on one count.)

When Tapper asked if Nadler considered all Republicans who voted to acquit Trump corrupt, the congressman replied: "I think in the sense of being corrupt against the interest of the country, yes."

Nadler also laid into Senate Republicans for not summoning Bolton to testify about his experiences in the White House following his unceremonious ouster in September. Leaked excerpts of Bolton's book allege the president's behavior that led to his articles of impeachment were merely part of a pattern of corrupt behavior. Bolton argued that had House Democrats focused on the president's dealings with numerous foreign leaders, the impeachment effort could have gone differently.

Bolton was widely panned for refusing to testify before Congress, with critics saying he saved details to promote book sales. The Trump administration has tried to stop the release of his book, claiming Bolton disclosed classified information.

"He refused to testify before the House," Nadler said. "And the Senate, of course, was never going to call him because the Senate Republicans were not interested in any evidence. As I said, they were corrupt in that respect."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday condemned President Donald Trump's reported actions over an intelligence briefing given to lawmakers on Russian interference in U.S. elections, saying members should denounce any efforts to discredit the intelligence community.

"American voters should decide American elections — not Vladimir Putin. All Members of Congress should condemn the President’s reported efforts to dismiss threats to the integrity of our democracy & to politicize our intel community," Pelosi tweeted Thursday night.

Her remarks came after the New York Times reported that the House Intelligence Committee received a Feb. 13 briefing that Russia planned to interfere in the 2020 elections, including the Democratic primaries.

The report said Trump expressed anger toward acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire for greenlighting the briefing, suggesting Democrats would use the information against him as he seeks reelection.

Trump announced Wednesday that his fierce ally and current ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, will take over from Maguire.

Pelosi revealed on Twitter that House members would have an election security briefing on March 10.

Trump was also reportedly angry that House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff was in the intelligence briefing. Schiff was one the Democrat impeachment managers during Trump's Senate impeachment trial and a frequent punching bag at Trump's rallies.

Schiff also responded to the Times report Thursday night, tweeting: "We count on the intelligence community to inform Congress of any threat of foreign interference in our elections. If reports are true and the President is interfering with that, he is again jeopardizing our efforts to stop foreign meddling. Exactly as we warned he would do."

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer hit back at President Donald Trump’s “blue collar boom” Tuesday night in her Democratic response to the president's third annual address before Congress.

The Democratic governor, who was selected by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to deliver the Democrats' answer to Trump’s address, focused on economic issues to counter the president’s message of unprecedented economic growth.

"It doesn’t matter what the president says about the stock market," the governor said. "What matters is that millions of people struggle to get by or don’t have enough money at the end of the month after paying for transportation, student loans, or prescription drugs."

Trump used his address to tout the U.S. economy and reinforce his stance on stricter border security. His speech reflected the policy portions of his campaign rallies, and he largely avoided the impeachment drama overshadowing his presidency. The House impeached Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress on Dec. 18. The Senate is set to acquit Trump on Wednesday afternoon after a three week trial.

But the State of the Union address also had made for T.V. moments, such as when Trump awarded conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award. And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Trump appeared to engage in a dramatic tiff, with the president turning away from her outstretched hand at the beginning of his speech and Pelosi tearing up her copy of his prepared remarks at the conclusion.

Whitmer, who beat Republican Gov. Bill Schuette in 2018 only two years after the state voted for Trump in the 2016 election, pushed her party to focus on "dinner-table" issues in the lead up to her election, particularly reforming access to health care and other issues that impact the middle class. Speaking Tuesday night, Whitmer reflected those priorities, focusing on the need to look away from political infighting and toward health care and child care.

"Instead of talking about what he is saying, I'm going to highlight what Democrats are doing," she said.

She cited the policies of Democratic governors and lawmakers across the country focusing on infrastructure repairs and economic mobility. She also highlighted the fact that all the 2020 Democratic hopefuls have made health care reform a central part of their platforms, portraying them as a foil to Congressional Republicans and Trump.

"Bullying people on Twitter doesn't fix bridges. It burns them. Our energy should be used to solve problems," she said. "I lost my patience for people who play games instead of solve problems.”

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) offered the Spanish-language response and focused on similar themes. Escobar represents El Paso, a city shaken by a mass shooting in August that was targeted against the city's Latino community.

Escobar lamented the state of health care in Texas, but offered an optimistic message centered on Democrats' efforts to lower drug costs and shore-up protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Escobar also went after Trump for his treatment of immigrants who entered the country without documentation and recipients of DACA. It was a rebuke to Trump's on-brand, anti-immigrant moments during his address, where he characterized undocumented immigrants as a drain on American resources. Trump spent a number of minutes linking undocumented immigrants to violent crime.

"From attacks against Dreamers, family separation, the deaths of migrant children, to the Remain in Mexico policy that sends asylum seekers into dangerous situations," Escobar said. "These are policies none of us ever imagined would happen in America in our lifetime."

The White House tapped Interior Secretary David Bernhardt to be the designated survivor for President Donald Trump's third State of the Union address.

Bernhardt is waiting out the annual gathering of the nation‘s lawmakers and top officials in an undisclosed, secure location in the event of a catastrophe that kills the president and cabinet.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue played the role during Trump's last Congress-wide address in 2019. The tradition dates back to the Civil War and can be seen as an indicator of secretaries' standing within the administration.

Bernhardt has served in the role since January of last year and was confirmed in April. He previously worked as an oil industry lobbyist.

Trump is delivering his address as the Senate considers two articles of impeachment against him for abusing his office and obstructing Congress. The Senate is expected to acquit Trump Wednesday.

A number of House Democrats, including progressive Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley plan to boycott the address. Others appeared dressed in white in honor of the suffrage movement.

Trump plans to steer clear of the impeachment proceedings and focus on his reelection bid for 2020.
