White House Counsel Sends Letter To Try And Stop Democrats From Investigating Trump

Photo: Forbes

The White House's top lawyer sent a letter Wednesday to Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee, warning that Democrats' planned investigations of the Trump administration "may cross the line into blatant criminality." Garcia responded by saying Trump has "something to hide,"

How the coverage differs

Forbes centers its coverage on reaction from legal experts, who it says criticized the letter and argued it could end up helping Democrats' case. PBS NewsHour presents the letter itself, naming its recipient, incoming House Oversight Committee chair Rep. Robert Garcia, and quoting the White House counsel's claim that Democrats' planned investigations "may cross the line into blatant criminality." Benzinga leads with Garcia's response, highlighting his statement that Trump has "something to hide." Neither PBS NewsHour nor Benzinga mentions outside legal analysis, and Forbes' excerpt does not name Garcia or quote the letter's wording.
