@tedlieu
US House candidate, CA-33
House Oversight wanted hearing sooner but DeJoy refused. In fact, he doesn’t even have to show up & can litigate any subpoenas. How to solve this? Pass my House Rules change that allows us to execute Inherent Contempt against witnesses. No excuse for us not to exercise our power.
