The White House has warned Democratic lawmakers that aggressive oversight of the former administration could cross into criminality as the new Democratic‑led Congress prepares to take office in January.
The warning comes as the incoming Congress is set to convene in January, a time when lawmakers are expected to launch investigations into the Trump administration.
White House officials cautioned that certain oversight actions might exceed legal boundaries, implying that some investigations could be viewed as criminal rather than purely political.
Oversight of the former president’s administration remains a key issue for the new Congress, which will be tasked with reviewing the actions of the previous administration.
The statement was reported by CBS News correspondent Kathryn Watson.
