White House threatens House Dems on investigations
Jake Sherman reports for Punchbowl News that White House counsel Will Scharf warned incoming House Oversight chair Rep. Robert Garcia in a November 9 letter that some of the new Democratic majority's investigations could cross into criminal behavior, calling them designed to harass rather than serve any legislative end. Punchbowl News reads the letter as a signal the administration may refuse cooperation — and Garcia's reported message back: "Lawyer up."
