How Should You Respond to a Request for Information From the Minority Party?

Update: 2021-03-02

Description

This episode adds to Michael and Andrew’s prior analysis of the DC Circuit’s decision in Maloney v. Murphy, which explored minority party members’ authority to conduct congressional investigations. Regardless of whether the minority members have that authority, their requests for information related to a congressional investigation should be carefully evaluated. In this episode, Michael and Andrew discuss practical considerations for private parties who receive these requests.
