Coronavirus: Pelosi Creates New Committee with Subpoena Powers

Nancy Pelosi has created a new House committee with subpoena to  oversea the coronavirus response.

“It would have subpoena power that’s for sure. It’s no use having a committee unless you have subpoena power,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday during a teleconference call with reporters. “And we would hope that there would be cooperation because this is not a kind of an investigation of the administration it’s about the whole [response].”

Pelosi said that Adam Schiff and others proposed such a committee to oversea the here and now issues of the response, instead of setting up a committee later to look at how the response was conducted.

Pelosi as said the committee will be bipartisan and will have both democrats and members of the GOP.

“The committee will be empowered to examine all aspects of the federal response to coronavirus, and to assure that the taxpayers’ dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent to save lives, deliver relief and benefit our economy,” she said.
