Democrats weighing Trump’s impeachment face roadblocks at every turn
WASHINGTON – When House Democrats embarked on wide-ranging probes of President Donald Trump’s administration, they asked for an avalanche of information and got almost nothing.
Democrats who regained control this year of the House of Representatives with high hopes of investigating Trump’s administration have found themselves – at least for now – blocked at almost every turn. Their only recourse has been to go to court, a process that hasn't produced much. A succession of stone walls More than nine months after Democrats took power in the House and opened their investigations, their battle with Trump is more like trench warfare than a blitzkrieg as the two sides scrap over every document, each witness and even each question. A handful of the disputes landed in federal court.
Democrats have found few alternatives to lawsuits. They've tried holding officials in contempt, most recently when investigating the administration's unsuccessful efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. “We feel strongly about our position, about the position of Article I, the legislative branch having the right to have oversight over every other branch of government,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said July 26. “But that's important because it means we can get the information to show the American people what the obstruction of justice was further all about.”
