Congressional Investigations 101: Congressional Investigations Are Political Events

The Democrats have taken control of the U.S. House of Representatives and have promised an aggressive agenda of investigations and oversight. Although their majority is slim, Democrats now chair committees, determine which investigations to pursue and hearings to hold, and wield subpoena power.

Few people understand what that means and why it is different from other investigations. However, this podcast will feature conversations with individuals who have helped clients navigate the legal and political landmines that often accompany congressional investigations.

In our inaugural episode, Former Congressman Bart Gordon shares poignant reminders that congressional investigations are political events.
