Rep. Jamie Raskin: ‘We Are Going To Be Engaged in Aggressive Oversight’ of the Trump Administration

EXCERPT:

RASKIN: “I mean, it’s a bunch of bluster, essentially, and I think they would prefer to talk about that than all of the reasons they just lost a landslide election across the country and suffered an historic repudiation and defeat. Look, Congress has the power of oversight over anything that’s going on in the government and anything going on in the economy and the society. It does have to be for a legislative purpose, but that’s been very broadly construed repeatedly by the Supreme Court. So, I think his efforts to intimidate our colleagues on the Oversight Committee are in vain. We are going to be engaged in aggressive oversight of all of the corruption that we’ve seen in this administration and the way that it has compromised public policy and made life a lot more expensive for people.”
