Trump-bashing N.J. congressman just got some real power to go after president

Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., who has been using Donald Trump’s favorite weapon to bash the president, now has more than just Twitter to go after him.

Pascrell, D-9th Dist., was named to chair the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee, giving him the power to hold hearings and subpoena witnesses to investigate the Trump administration.

And he made it very clear how he would use his new-found power.

“We will be relentless in providing oversight and conducting investigations to improve peoples' lives and show the vital work we can do for regular Americans," Pascrell said.

"And we will focus with ferocity on holding the criminal Trump regime accountable. Exposing the public and private corruption left in the wake of the Trump government will take all the labor of cleaning up after the circus leaves town. I’m eager to grab a shovel and get to work.”
