@RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.”

NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.”
