Former White House counsel Don McGahn does not have the "legal right" to disclose documents connected to the Trump administration and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who has been demanding the information, knows it, White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said Tuesday.
"[About] 99% of this report, unredacted, sits right now in a SCIF, a secure location," Gidley told Fox News' "Outnumbered Overtime." "Not one single Democrat has gone to read it yet. It's because the Democrats don't care about getting information."
Instead, they care about "getting" President Donald Trump, Gidley said, adding that has been "clear from the start."
"The information that came out for everyone in this country to see and understand is there is no collusion, no obstruction," said Gidley. "They wanted it to be so true, they believed all the people on the Democrat side and the media so they had evidence ... it proved not to be the case. No evidence, no proof. They pushed a lie on the American people for more than two years."
He also criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after her comments that the Trump administration is stonewalling Congress as it attempts to get answers for the American people.
"I don't know what she's talking about 99% of the time," Gidley commented. "That might tip the scales to 100% just now. We have been more transparent in this process. We gave over 1.4 million documents, 30 plus hours of just on McGahn testimony, by the way...we have been moving the ball forward on countless fronts."
