WASHINGTON - Jerrold Nadler, one of the U.S. House lawmakers leading efforts to remove President Donald Trump from office said on Sunday he would miss some of the Senate impeachment trial after his wife was diagnosed with cancer. Nadler, who chairs the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, said in a statement that his wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December. The Democrat from New York will not be in Washington during the day on Monday, when the president’s lawyers are expected to continue their defense.
“On Monday, I will be in New York with her to meet with doctors, determine a path forward, and begin her treatment,” he said, adding his wife had already undergone surgery. “I am sorry to miss some of the Senate Impeachment Trial, which is of critical importance to our democracy.” Nadler helped present portions of the House’s case for why Trump should be removed. His Judiciary panel drafted the articles of impeachment, charging the Republican president with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress stemming from his dealings with Ukraine.
What about Nan-C Pelo-C, the CC.
Sorry for Nadler's wife but we want him to be called to testify about the lies he has told to CNN and the American Citizens.
People will do anything to get out of their responsibilities
Sending good thoughts to RepJerryNadler and his family. Remember, Sir, to take care of yourself as well. Thank you for your dedication in such difficult times.
How awful for them... Depending on how quickly they caught it, pancreatic cancer is one of the least subjected to cure.
May she be healed
I am sorry about his wife... I will pray for her. Badler has a job... soldiers are not pulled from the field, even for cancer. Military spouses deal with surgery, treatments and emergencies every single day all on our own! . doyourjob

CancerSucks. Wishing her well.
You wouldn't know it from the way he carried on late Friday after sundown, when it was his religious Sabbath, and it's forbidden for him. I guess his effort to bring down Trump, Trumps his religion. He is a shameless partisan.
He has been a great asset to the team. Thank you !
Oh no
Good luck Mrs Nadler RepJerryNadler
How convenient. Seems he’s always missing something. Never mind missing an entire case!
As long as he attends the ones after November.
Wishing her a refuah shleima.
Thoughts go out to RepJerryNadler and his family
God bless your family at this time.
how tragic. hope all goes well for the Nadler family.
Best wishes, no point in sticking around a COVERUP! Never regret or apologize for speaking the truth!
It’s okay to miss this sham show anyway. Take care of your family not this joke.
Are Republican Senators suffering some form of a Trump - McConnell induced Stochome syndrome?
Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. RepJerryNadler
I am so sorry. What terrible news.
A non partisan hope that your wife makes it through OK.
