Overview
- In an early Friday Truth Social post, the president labeled Rep. Jerry Nadler "one of the most disgusting Congressmen," a "psychopathic nut job," and a "pathetic lightweight."
- Nadler announced Monday that he will not seek reelection next year, citing a need for generational change after observing Joe Biden’s decline, according to his interview with The New York Times.
- The New York Democrat is in his 17th term and previously chaired the House Judiciary Committee, playing a leading role in the first impeachment case against Trump.
- Trump framed the retirement as a personal victory, invoking a feud that dates to 1980s Manhattan development battles and claiming he has been "beating this bum for 40 years."
- Trump was impeached twice by the House during his first term and was acquitted both times by a Republican-led Senate.
