NEW: The House's bid for Trump's financial records is in jeopardy after justices — liberal and conservative — raised questions about the limits of lawmakers' subpoena power. w/ @joshgerstein @Zachary
politico.com/news/2020/05/1…
@joshgerstein @Zachary It's by no means a done deal -- justices' questioning may not be indicative of the final outocme. But the House faced sharp questions from Justice Breyer and conservatives, who ask about the line on limits of congressional subpeoana power. politico.com/news/2020/05/1…
@joshgerstein @Zachary “What I hold today will also apply to a future Senator McCarthy asking a future Franklin Roosevelt or Harry Truman exactly the same questions,” said Breyer. “That bothers me. So, what do I do?” politico.com/news/2020/05/1…
@joshgerstein @Zachary The Manhattan DA seemed to fare better in seeking to uphold a subpoena for similar financial records against Trump claims that he's immune from investigative processes. politico.com/news/2020/05/1…

NEW: Democrats abandoned plans to vote on a FISA renewal bill that once had broad bipartisan support -- a reflection of crumbling support among progressives and a veto threat by Trump, which led Rs to abruptly reverse their support.

PELOSI emphasizes that Republicans had no substantive reason for reversing -- if anything the tweaked version of the bill included more protections that GOP members called for. Trump veto threat was all that changed.

Acting HHS IG Christi Grimm defends the report that Trump attacked her for.

"The report provided quick and reliable data from the ground" citing findings intended to help hospitals across the country manage beds, patient flow and child care for hospital workers.
GRIMM says she's talking with the Homeland Security IG about reviewing how the national stockpile was deployed by HHS and FEMA.
GRIMM downplays Trump's decision to nominate a new HHS IG as a threat to her independence. She noted that her office has been preparing for Trump to nominate a permanent IG since the last one retired in June 2019.
