White House threatens to open investigations against Democrats

The White House has threatened criminal investigations against the new Democratic majority in Congress if their inquiries into the Trump administration are seen as intimidation. This warning was issued in a letter from White House counsel Will Scharf to Congressman Robert García, who will lead the House Oversight Committee. The Democrats plan to use their majority to investigate alleged corruption in the Trump administration and potentially pursue impeachment. García responded, asserting that Congress will not be intimidated by what he calls unfounded threats. The recent midterm elections resulted in a significant Democratic victory, shifting control of Congress.
