White House Warns Democrats Against 'Unlawful Subpoenas' As Trump Administration Faces Congressional Probes
The White House has warned that President Donald Trump's administration will resist what it described as unlawful congressional subpoenas, accusing Democrats of planning investigations aimed at harassing government officials rather than pursuing legitimate legislative objectives. The White House issued the warning in a post on its official X account, declaring that the administration would not be intimidated by attempts to use congressional investigative powers against its officials.
The White House warned Democrats that some planned congressional investigations of the Trump administration could be criminal, as Democrats prepare to take control of the House next year. NBC News reported that incoming House Oversight Committee Chairman Robert Garcia said Congress has broad constitutional authority to investigate. The Guardian reported that the White House said probes could cross into criminality, while Garcia accused it of trying to deter oversight. The reports describe the warning and the dispute, but do not establish what investigations Democrats will pursue.
