House Dems: Administration Ignoring Hundreds of Oversight Requests

House Democrats pushed the Trump administration on Monday to acknowledge officially if it has instated a new policy not to respond to oversight requests from Congress unless they are signed by senior Republicans…. The office of Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.), who chairs a Democracy Reform Task Force, has tracked about 275 unanswered Democratic request letters since President Trump’s inauguration in January…. Sarbanes's office tallied 118 unanswered oversight requests from three days after the inauguration to March 17 alone.
