Democrats Dream of Subpoena Power

May 22, 2018 at 8:22 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Boston Globe: “If Democrats win the House in November, more than 20 Democratic chairmen would suddenly gain the power to compel reluctant witnesses to testify in front of their committees and cough up documents. The result would be a made-for-TV bonanza of committee investigations, with Democrats able to consistently land hearing-room punches on President Trump for the first time in two years.”

“The prospect has Democrats dreaming of what they could do if they were able to take the majority.”
