Congress is getting involved in investigating allegations that the Pentagon's chief spokeswoman misused and retaliated against staff.

House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., has ordered the Department of Defense to produce records related to the allegations against Dana White, according to a CNN report.

Gowdy wrote to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Tuesday to request "all documents and communications to, from, or about Dana White regarding her tasking other Department employees with non-official business," and "all documents and communications to or from Dana White regarding the transfer of staff to different positions" by Sept. 7, and to arrange a briefing for the committee by the end of the month.

It seems to me the DOJ has already set the precedent for ignoring such orders.  The DOJ WITH a republican attorney general has been stonewalling such orders for a couple years.  There is no reason to expect anyone else to comply when the DOJ doesn't follow the law.
