#BREAKING: Democrats subpoena the White House less than 24 hours after Republicans objected to partisan subpoena.
By issuing this subpoena, @RepCummings has violated our bipartisan agreement about subpoenas, trampled long-held minority rights in the House of Representatives, and proven the partisan nature of his inquiry.
In January, @RepCummings promised that Members would have an opportunity to vote on “the most important work they will do.” By denying us a chance to vote on subpoenas for the Democrats’ so-called impeachment inquiry, Chairman Cummings is violating his promise to the Committee.
He issued this subpoena without consulting Republicans and without allowing Members to debate the terms of the subpoena.
There's no way around it. The Chairman is denying transparency and accountability about the Committee's work.
