House Democrats’ newest job listing: A lawyer to take on Trump
Politico reports that House Democrats are preparing to hire a House counsel to lead legal fights against the Trump administration, with plans to investigate corruption allegations against Trump and his family, his pardon power, ICE deportations, and withheld funding. Hakeem Jeffries, expected to take the gavel in January 2027, sees the pick as a crucial priority, while Jamie Raskin says the strategy of pursuing whistleblowers is already underway.
