House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) warned that federal officials who continue blocking interview requests could have their salaries withheld.
House Democrats on Tuesday threatened to withhold the salaries of Trump administration officials who continue to block investigation interviews.
“The Government Accountability Office has reported to the Committee in the past when an agency official has violated this provision by preventing agency staff from being interviewed by Congress, and a portion of that official’s salary was ordered to be returned to the federal government,” Cummings added.
Cummings allowed the Department until May 10 to indicate whether they will “voluntarily produce the requested documents and expeditiously make the four Department officials available for transcribed interviews.” If the Department chooses not to comply, House Democrats will “consider alternative means to obtain compliance,” he added.
