“Congressional Democrats plan to use their subpoena power to target private companies and individuals as a way of circumventing what they anticipate will be massive resistance by the Trump administration to their demands for documents and testimony from government officials,” MS NOW reports.“As they map out their plans to investigate what they say has been rampant corruption and lawbreaking during the second Trump administration, Democrats are counting on a widespread refusal to answer subpoenas by President Donald Trump and his appointees, said sources, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal strategy. It’s seen as unlikely that the Trump Justice Department will prosecute anyone for defying a Congressional subpoena, and the federal government could pay any fines Congress or a court can impose after a contempt finding.”“But a lot of pertinent evidence exists outside of government, in the correspondence files and email accounts of law firms, corporations and former officials, who are far more likely to comply.”
