White House warns incoming Democrats over oversight plans
White House counsel Will Scharf warned incoming House Oversight chair Robert Garcia that planned records requests and subpoenas could prompt criminal inquiries; Trump has separately urged DOJ to investigate Democrats, but no DOJ investigation is established. Incoming Democrats are discussing oversight, while contractor-industry predictions of scrutiny are not an announced committee agenda; progressive groups’ proposed crypto and Trump-business inquiries are also not official plans.
