This plays right into Dems’ hands. Threatening criminal process for oversight gives them ammo to go straight to subpoenas and tell a court ‘what’s the point of lengthy negotiations w a White House trying to criminalize congressional scrutiny?’
🚨BREAKING NEWS in @PunchbowlNews AM
The White House counsel warned Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the incoming House Oversight Committee chair, in a new letter that some of the new majority’s investigations could cross the line into criminal behavior.
It’s an audacious claim that signals the White House is taking an aggressive — and hugely controversial — stance toward Democratic oversight in the 120th Congress.
The letter, penned by White House counsel Will Scharf, says that Congress can only investigate matters for a legislative purpose — a position that Republicans have relied on and stretched in recent years.
Further, the Scharf letter, sent to Garcia on Monday, says that Democratic investigations are designed to “harass and aggrandize rather than to advance any legitimate legislative end.”

Congressional oversight is part of their constitutional responsibility. Holding cabinet members accountable is not the same as intimidation. The focus should be on evidence, due process, and serving the people not political theatrics.
