White House braces for congressional probes of coronavirus response:
of the White House’s coronavirus task force, where he is intimately familiar with the work being done by multiple different agencies involved in the response.
Lawyers for the House of Representatives reached out to the president’s outside legal counsel earlier this week seeking for them to join a potential motion to hold oral arguments for two cases seeking financial records via teleconference and Trump’s legal team declined this offer, according to sources familiar with communications. Unlike many lower federal courts, the Supreme Court does not conduct hearings by phone or videoconference.
Now, multiple oversight entities in Congress are vying to examine the administration's coronavirus response. Thus far, only Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has announced his pick for the panel: Bharat Ramamurti, the former deputy policy director for economic policy for Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have yet to announce their appointments. McConnell and Pelosi must jointly appoint the fifth member, and it’s unclear where their negotiations stand.
