House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the creation of a new select committee Thursday with subpoena powers to scrutinize the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, and its management of the new $2 trillion economic rescue law.
“Where there’s money there’s also frequently mischief,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) said as she announced creation of the special bipartisan panel she said would be focused on rooting out waste, fraud and abuse.
]Pelosi’s announcement comes amid growing clashes between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration about oversight of the new rescue legislation and a $500 billion fund controlled by the Treasury Department. Trump has to appoint a new inspector general to oversee that fund but has already signaled opposition to the scope of that person’s mandate.
Republicans will predictably say that oversight is going to distract the White House from effectively overseeing the pandemic response. The logical counterpoint to this is that trump was incompetent during impeachment, he was incompetent after impeachment, and will continue to be incompetent after this new oversight is created.
The only difference is that he’ll be incompetent while Pelosi attempts to create transparency over how our tax dollars are being used to help Americans hurt by the outbreak.
And predictably, trump will fight all subpoenas and any attempts to learn where the money is going.

"We impeached but Republicans stopped removal last time. This time we'll DEFINITELY get it done!"
i guess pelosi didn't learn her lesson the last 2 times she drank the schiff koolaid.
I guess she is really insane because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again while expecting a different result.
Actually he was 100% competent during and after and has continued to show pretty good leadership on handling things.
she can take her committee and shove it up her ass.

“Rahhhrr!! I don’t know what this thread is about but I saw Pelosi’s name, so time to act like an asshat!!!”
Yep, the administration was just not busy enough - they need to focus on keeping Pelosi more informed. Perhaps, they can start by finding out why a Kennedy Center bailout was so necessary.

The money will go undeterred to the wealthy. Committee or no committee.

once again pelosi shows what disgusting people leftist are.
instead of doing things to help improve the situation she is more concerned with trump.
lol and the lemmings will follow her off the cliff along with schiff once again.
leftist are idiots.
it won't go to Trump properties.

um, the Republicans agreed to the committee when the stimulus package was passed.
ummm wrong committee this is another committee that is different than the one in the bill.
there is already over site of the money written into the bill that will be handled by existing committee's.
there is no need to give them subpoena powers if this is just over site of the money which is already being handled.
This is probably the easiest prediction I’ve ever made, but while Republicans are busy attacking Pelosi, at no point will it occur to them that perhaps...just maybe...it’s a good thing that we know how the rescue package is being spent to help Americans.
Good Lord that's a howler. Nancy Pelosi, who's worth over 100 million after 30 years in politics, is concerned about transparency.
perhaps you can C&P the article? The paywall won't let most of us read it.
not my issue to educate you on the subject that is your responsibility.
so you just admit you have no clue what you are talking about thanks for letting us know.
