The White House has warned Democratic lawmakers that aggressive oversight of the Trump administration may cross the line into criminality, as a Democratic-controlled Congress prepares to take office in January. White House counsel Will Scharf sent a letter to incoming House Oversight Committee chair Robert Garcia, stating that threats to executive branch officials and issuing unlawful subpoenas may warrant further investigation. Despite the warning, Garcia vowed to continue investigations into the Trump family, corporate corruption, the Jeffrey Epstein case, and abuses at the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Meanwhile, a top federal prosecutor threatened Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal with legal consequences over his investigation into the president's $400 million White House ballroom renovation project.
