White House Legal Team Gears Up for House Probes

December 17, 2018 at 6:46 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“A White House already sidetracked by special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe is now racing to prepare for a new Congress that is vowing more aggressive oversight of the administration. Belatedly, the White House has begun to fill key positions to face off with Democrats in a second front of legal sparring,” NBC News reports.

“Democrats take control of the House of Representatives in just 17 days and are already preparing a multi-pronged oversight strategy. But White House preparations stand in contrast to how the Obama administration girded for the incoming GOP Congress it faced after its first two years in office — in part because a new legal team is just getting started.”
