Rafi Prober Quoted in Bloomberg Law on Congressional Oversight of the DOJ
Rafi Prober, Co-Head of Simpson Thacher’s Congressional Investigations Practice, was quoted in an article titled, “Democrats Prep DOJ Subpoenas, Oversight Tools With Majority Win,” which was published by Bloomberg Law. The article examined how the new Democratic majorities in Congress could approach oversight of the U.S. Department of Justice, including potential investigations, subpoenas and litigation. Rafi discussed how the administration could respond to congressional inquiries, noting that additional DOJ Office of Legal Counsel memos could seek to define certain issues “as core executive branch purview like national security or immigration that should be just flat out beyond the scope of congressional oversight.”
