So Much for Affordability: Dem Garcia Explicitly Threatens Stephen Miller with Lawfare on CNN
Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California said Wednesday that new White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller should preserve documents for a potential investigation into his activities.
Garcia, the incoming House Oversight Committee chair, spoke with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about investigating the Trump administration before being asked whether Miller would be a target, according to Mediaite.
“Stephen Miller is the chief of staff now. Do you think you can get him to testify?” Collins inquired.
“Well, look, we’re going to do everything we can to get him to answer questions,” Gracia replied. “He certainly should be preserving documents.”
“And I think what people need to realize is that if people thought that Donald Trump was somehow going to change his posture … that evaporated with the announcement of Stephen Miller,” he added.
Garcia then accused Miller of crafting cruel policies and criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers for using deadly force.
“[Miller] is the person who has created the deportation and the detention current system that’s in place,” he said. “It’s incredibly inhumane. We’ve seen ICE agents murder people on American streets.”

“This is not someone that should be leading anything at the White House,” Garcia declared. “And certainly it’s someone that we have serious questions that we want answered. And whether that’s now or in the future … we want answers from Stephen Miller.
This news came after Garcia posted the words “lawyer up” on social media following the Democrats’ midterm election victories.
LAWYER UP.

He was later asked by CNN’s Dana Bash if Miller did anything criminal, to which he replied, “Look, what’s important is, we believe he’s been at the center of actions that are unconstitutional, unjust, and possibly illegal. So we’re of course going to investigate.”
This news also comes just weeks after Democrats began laying the groundwork to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
The probe would use congressional subpoena power to focus on Hegseth’s involvement in the Iran war, Pentagon contracts, strikes against Latin American drug boats, and his firing of top military brass.
President Donald Trump warned Democrats in a Truth Social post Saturday about launching baseless impeachment efforts against his cabinet members. Trump directed the Justice Department to investigate the matter.
“The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the Attorney General of the United States, and others, with Impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so, and there have been no impeachable acts committed, or even thought of, by the victims of this illegal process,” he stated.
“This is extortion at the highest level, and they should be held accountable for this,” he added. “Also, they’re threatening our Donors, some of the most respected people anywhere in the World, with imprisonment, and many other levels of punishment, just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters. This is Weaponization and Lawfare at another level.”
“By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!” Trump concluded.
