Warning there is another pie hole moment...............

Trump's chief of staff loved congressional oversight — until he worked for Trump



By Josh Israel -June 9, 2020 3:33 PM
Before he was White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows chaired a House Oversight Committee panel.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is reportedly blocking Trump administration officials from testifying before Congress. But during his tenure as a Republican member of the House of Representatives, he tried to impeach people who stood in the way of congressional oversight.

Politico reported on Sunday that Meadows has implemented a requirement that everyone in the administration must get his permission before they can testify before Congress.

In May, news outlets reported on a similar effort by Meadows to block members of the administration's coronavirus task force from testifying before Congress without his advance permission. ABC News reported that similar restrictions applied to Cabinet-level officials.

The White House did not immediately respond to an inquiry about the policy.
