The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee plans to grill the Department of Justice on its decision to charge Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) with assault on law enforcement, Axios has learned.Why it matters: Democrats have roundly condemned the charges as an intimidation effort aimed at chilling their oversight of the Trump administration's deportation policies.What they're saying: Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told Axios he will "definitely" be questioning the Justice Department on the decision-making behind the charges, potentially in the form of a letter."It's a terribly troubling situation. It's an absolute assault on congressional powers," he said of the assault charges against McIver.
