House GOP Issues 3-Point Defense Plan Against Trump Probes as Democrats Eye Subpoenas
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 5
Summary
Steve Scalise told House committee chairs to use Republicans’ remaining time in power to prepare for expected Democratic investigations of Trump, his family, Cabinet officials and allies in the next Congress.
The 3-point guidance calls for committees to inventory current and likely probes, identify Democratic targets, and review Supreme Court rulings and a DOJ executive-privilege memo that could shape resistance strategies.
Democrats have already signaled an aggressive approach: likely Oversight Chairman Robert Garcia posted “Lawyer up,” while Homeland Security Democrats are preparing scrutiny of DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
The push lands as Scalise seeks the House minority leader post against Jim Jordan, with Democrats framing the GOP effort as an attempt to shield corruption before the Republican majority ends.
