White House Prepares Ferocious Response to Investigations

“In his first term, President Trump approached congressional investigations with a strategy of resisting and stonewalling, hoping to stall the inquiries until Democrats ran out of time,” the New York Times reports.

“But in anticipation of Democrats’ return to control of Congress in his second term, Mr. Trump has embarked on an even more aggressive maneuver: threatening to treat some legislative oversight as a potential crime.”

“That tactic is expected to be part of an all-out effort by the White House to block Democratic congressional oversight over the next two years.”
