White House counsel Will Scharf has warned House Democrats that aggressive oversight and threats to investigate the Trump administration could constitute criminal conduct. In a letter, he argued that members of Congress have limited authority to conduct oversight without a legitimate legislative purpose. Democrats, who won control of the House, plan to investigate the administration when the new Congress takes office in January, including Trump’s family members and aides. Robert Garcia, the incoming Oversight Committee chairman, called the warning embarrassing and said it has no actual legal basis.
