Trump admin threatens criminal investigations into congressmen who investigate the administration. To those threats I’d say Trump is not king; the Comstitution does not grant him unlimited power; Congress has a duty of oversight, among other duties and powers, and threats will only confirm there’s something to hide; and not all actions are protected. WH Connsel William Scharf’ letter to Rep. Robert Garcia (D-California), who is expected to chair the House Oversight Committee in the new Congress, made clear that the administration would resist congressional subpoenas on the grounds that they lack a “legitimate legislative purpose.” It went further to suggest that the administration might try to investigate the investigators, saying that “threats to executive branch officials” would go beyond Congress’s legitimate oversight role and “may cross the line into blatant criminality.”
