Oh, dear heavens, do the Dems really have the stones to do this after the impeachment fiasco?

President Trump warned House Democrats on Thursday to back off plans for what he called another “witch hunt” investigation, this time over his administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.

For his part, Mr. Trump scolded Democrats after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday at least two of her committee chairs — Reps. Bernie Thompson of Homeland Security and Adam Schiff of Intelligence — are calling for a 9/11-like after-action review of the administration’s handling of the coronavirus threat.

Mrs. Pelosi said there is “absolutely” a need for such an investigation, but not right now.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) announced the formation of a new coronavirus oversight committee led by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D., S.C.), who last month said the pandemic gives Democrats "a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision."

Pelosi said Thursday the committee would monitor the billions in federal money spent fighting the virus and would have subpoena power. House Republicans immediately expressed concern over Clyburn's participation, arguing that his March remarks indicate he is looking to use the pandemic as a pretext to advance Democratic policy goals.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) on Thursday said he is concerned by the choice. "[The committee] is concerning to me because Congressman Clyburn is the one who thought this crisis was an opportune time to restructure government," McCarthy said in a conference call with reporters. "That's not what we should be doing."

Pelosi said in a Thursday conference call that the committee would ensure the $2 trillion in coronavirus relief is "spent carefully and effectively," but McCarthy indicated that Republicans were given few details on the committee, which will need to be approved by Congress before it is launched.

"For that committee to get up and running, it takes a vote of Congress," McCarthy said. "I don't know when we'd go back and vote on this, I don't know what the budget would be, I don't know what the responsibility would be."
