WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said President Donald Trump's suggestion that lawmakers abandon their "ridiculous partisan investigations" was a "threat," as unbowed Democrats charged ahead Wednesday with their plans to investigate Trump's tax returns, business and ties to Russia. After eight years in the minority, House Democrats are releasing their bottled-up legislative energy. They may not want to put it this way, but House Democrats are trying to make Congress great again. "What we have not seen from this committee in a decade-plus is attention to climate change," Grijalva said, alongside video clips of Trump calling climate change a "hoax." The Energy and Commerce Committee is among several panels delving into health care and also climate change.
