Two incoming Democratic congressional committee chairs say they plan on investigating President Donald Trump, but that there will be limits on how they use the power of their newfound majority.
Incoming House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. Elijah Cummings and incoming House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jerrold Nadler told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos that their committees’ powers should be used judiciously.
In an exclusive interview on “This Week” Sunday, Cummings said subpoena power cannot be abused.
“I’m not going to be handing out subpoenas like somebody’s handing out candy on Halloween, I take this as a lawyer and as an officer of the court, I take subpoenas very seriously and I plan to, if I have to use them, they will be used in a very, in a methodical way, and it must be in the public interest,” Cummings said.
