White House steps up threat to prosecute Democrats over congressional oversight
Democracy Docket reports that the White House, in a letter from counsel William O. Scharf, threatened incoming House Oversight Chairman Robert Garcia with prosecution over his pledge to investigate the Trump administration, warning the Democrats' probes might "cross the line into blatant criminality." Garcia refused to back down, saying Congress' authority "comes from Article I of the Constitution, not from the permission of the White House."
