Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and other Trump administration officials are likely to face subpoenas on “day one” of a Democratic majority if the party takes control of the lower chamber after the midterm elections.
Garcia said a more in-depth probe into those associated with deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will commence if Democrats regain the House.
During an interview with NOTUS published Monday, the California Democrat said that “in the last few months, it feels like Republicans have decided that they’re done.”
“Todd Blanche has said this investigation is over; the president’s called it a hoax. They’ve stonewalled getting information,” Garcia continued.
“So, it’s clear that’s been the direction, I think probably from the White House,” he added.
Garcia recently said House Democrats would work to subpoena Vice President Vance regarding his involvement in the handling of the Epstein files after a bombshell report from The New York Times unveiled details about a Situation Room meeting where Cabinet officials allegedly discussed how to handle the fallout from the documents tied to the disgraced financier.
Garcia told NOTUS that he and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) “disagree very strongly” on the issues the House panel should be focused on addressing.
He said it would be crucial to investigate bank records related to Epstein as well as financial documents and other paperwork from the convicted sex offender’s estate.
The California lawmaker also said “Trump family corruption” will be a major focus of any potential investigations pushed by a potentially Democrat-led House Oversight Committee in the future.
He cited concerns over the Trump family cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial, government contracts awarded to close allies and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s investment fund backed by Middle Eastern sovereign wealth.
“Those things have to be investigated, because it is pure government corruption,” Garcia told NOTUS.

So why is it political persecution when Trump does it - but when the Dems do it, it’s just holding people to the law?
I really wish trump was throwing the kitchen sink at all these pathetic human beings. The minute he is out of office the democrats are gonna be coming for him and anyone associated with them.
Now that the Iran kerfuffle is dying down, it’s back to Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. I don’t think they really want to go when Epstein’s finances will lead, since he was an inside Dem.

“...The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”

Too bad both parties are so interested in slinging mud that they can’t address real problems like the deficit and inflation. This is not what we sent them to DC to do.
Sounds like it might be a case of getting even for certain Democrats that may have been actually caught with their hands in the cookie jar. This is just my guess, but considering all of the unprovable complaints against the president, it seems like a definite possibility to me. Compared to Democrats of the past, this latest bunch is some of the most despicable I’ve ever seen & I think this might be a pretty consistent opinion of many folks nowadays.
LOL notice NOT ONE REPUBLICAN demanded an inquiry to the fact that Biden was NEVER really president, well that is because the GOP are cowards and wimps
Cool they to talk about Epstein..awesome maybe they can explain to everyone why they had the files for FOUR YEARS and NEVER mentioned his name ONCE..they could have released EVERY SINGLE DAMN FILE yet released NOTHING because they had nothing on Trump..otherwise it would have been all been released the day after the debate
“...well that is because the GOP are cowards and wimps”
That may well be, but it’s more likely that the GOP is in on the scam..................
that is true..after all four years of Biden, how many times did anyone here hear the name Jeffrey Epstein, I cant remember his name uttered ONCE by ANYONE..you would think the GOP controls both houses, pass the damn SAVE ACT but they wont, they refuse to they dont want to give Trump the win so they would rather lose everything..and by the way where is Mitch McConnell, hes supposedly in the hospital no one knows what happened to him or if hes even alive..even though for the most part hes been dead a long time anyway just no one noticed
Hey Bobby, if you thought January 6th was bad, just try pulling the same shit you guys did during his last administration. There will be more gallows erected on Capitol Hill, but this time, there will be RAT bodies swinging from them...guaranteed.
You think they will wait that long? They take over Congress in the mid terms they will go after him and everyone down to his voters immediately
Trump needs to send the Purvian fag divorcee home to Peru. The boy ain’t right in the head. You can see it in his lights. He’s nuts. The lights are on but nobody is home. We don’t need crap like him floating around Congress. You tdumb bastards that voted for him couldn’t think of an AMERICAN TO VOTE FOR?
Evil just oozes out of the pores of democrats.
They are so consumed with hatred as to be inconceivable.
And yet they let Platner skate.
HYPOCRITES!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is way beyond mere hypocrisy at this point.
Garcia
So, not going to refute you’re assertion about the GOP, but what you really seem to be saying is you want the GOP to operate the same way as the Democrats.
