Kaitlan Collins: Trump Warns of a ‘Very Combative White House’ for the Democratic Majority
EXCERPT:
COLLINS: "But this has kind of been building over the last few days because the president was so angry last week. He got angrier by the day after the midterms, watching the coverage, not just of the historic Republican losses, but seeing all these Democrats come out and say, 'Yes, we‘re taking power. We‘re going to talk about affordability and all of these things we campaigned on. And we‘re also going to hold the Trump Administration accountable and launch all of these investigations.' And so I think he posted that on Saturday, Anderson. On Sunday, his attorney general was on television, including CNN, saying similar. And then this letter, you‘ll notice it came out today, but it was actually dated on Monday, on November 9th, which is when the White House counsel drafted this and obviously addressed it to the incoming House Oversight chair, Robert Garcia. And basically, it‘s a signal of how the administration plans to handle this come January. They are going to fight these subpoenas. They are going to fight these investigations. And they‘re basically saying it‘s the ones that they believe are going a step too far. But obviously, Anderson, it‘s their definition of what is going too far here. And we‘ll see how Democrats plan to respond to that, because this is going even further than Trump went in his first term when they were ignoring subpoenas or defying subpoenas. They‘re signaling this is going to be a very combative White House with this Democratic majority here in Washington."
