John,
As the minority party in the Senate, Democrats aren’t able to call formal
hearings or issue subpoenas to investigate Donald Trump.
That being said, there are other ways to hold him accountable. We have
tools at our disposal that we can use to shed light on their corruption
and attacks on our democracy.
And you better believe I’m going to use all of them.
One of those tools is what’s known as a “shadow hearing” — which is
essentially an unofficial hearing that we can hold to question individuals
willing to testify about the Trump administration’s abuses of power.
[ [link removed] ]Politico: Democrats plan 'shadow hearing' to question lawyers pressured
by Trump administration
Alongside a few of my colleagues, including Congressman Jamie Raskin, I
held a hearing last month during which we heard testimony from former
Department of Justice employees who refused to be intimidated by Donald
Trump’s threats.
Their testimony highlighted what we’ve known to be true for quite some
time: Donald Trump is trying to remake the Department of Justice in his
image, threatening and firing career attorneys who refuse to go along with
his attacks on the rule of law and replacing them with extreme loyalists
who are willing to bend to his will.
Despite what Donald Trump may think, the lawyers at the Department of
Justice are not his personal lawyers. They are the people’s lawyers tasked
with defending the Constitution, upholding the rule of law, and protecting
our democracy.
We’re living in unprecedented times,
John. Trump is working to turn
the Justice Department into another political arm of his administration —
and Republicans are dead silent as he chips away at our democracy every
single day.
Republicans may refuse to speak up against his lawless actions, but my
colleagues and I will continue to hold shadow hearings and utilize all the
other tools at our disposal to hold his administration accountable and
defend the Constitution.

this corrupt administration. If you agree, pitch in today.
