During a chaotic House Oversight Committee hearing, Democratic lawmakers attempted to subpoena billionaire Elon Musk amid concerns regarding his initiatives with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to restructure federal agencies. Rep. Gerry Connolly's motion was quickly dismissed by Oversight Chair James Comer, leading to significant dissent among Democrats, particularly from Rep. Melanie Stansbury. The tension underscored conflicting views on congressional oversight of Musk's actions that reportedly involved dismissing federal employees and altering agency functions without legislative approval.
Mr. Chairman. I think it's outrageous that this committee will not even entertain a motion to subpoena-
Somebody who is breaking the law and dismantling our federal agencies and firing federal employees
You will not even entertain a motion to bring him in front of the Oversight Committee?!
Miss Stansbury you are out of order! You know you're out of order! You know the rules of this committee.
