Hagel says Congress needs to do its duty and put country over party or president

1. "We've never had a White House or a president completely disregard the constitutional powers and responsibilities of Congress as this guy is doing in telling people to disregard congressional subpoenas" to appear before House committees to testify about issues related to the Mueller probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, Hagel said.
2. It's time for Congress to step up, reclaim its constitutional authority and exercise its duty to place country over party or president or political gain, former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said Monday.
3. Hagel said he believes there is a welcome sign of independence emerging among some Republican members of the Senate who appeared willing to confront President Donald Trump over the new trade tariffs that he had threatened to impose on Mexico last week before the issue was resolved.
4. Despite White House efforts to confuse the findings of the Department of Justice investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, the report "did not absolve the president of any wrongdoing when it came to obstruction of justice," Hagel said.
