House Oversight Committee Takes Stand Against Trump: 'Will Not Be Deterred'

Representative Robert Garcia pushed back against a White House warning over investigations Democrats plan to pursue after taking control of the House in January. Garcia is expected to chair the House Oversight Committee, giving him authority to direct inquiries and issue subpoenas. White House counsel Will Scharf criticized Democrats’ rhetoric in a letter sent Monday. The dispute follows Democrats’ midterm victory and plans for aggressive oversight of the Trump administration.
