Mazars, Deutsche Bank, McGahn, Kupperman, and more—a remarkable number of active suits hold the possibility of shaping significant new precedent for Congressional oversight.

Attorneys Mike Stern (@mls1776), who served as senior counsel to the House from 1996 to 2004, and Steve Vladeck (@steve_vladeck), a constitutional law expert and professor at the University of Texas, discuss a dozen recent and ongoing cases, where they stand, and what they could mean for Congressional oversight.
