Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) told Deadline Detroit that House Democrats have discussed jailing allies of the president who do not comply with congressional subpoenas.
Said Tlaib: “There have been actual serious conversations about what the logistics would look like… if we did have to force someone through a court order to come before the Congressional committee. This is pretty uncharted territory for many of us and even for Congress.”
