Plaskett serves as the ranking member of the \u2064House Judiciary \u200dSubcommittee on the Weaponization\u200b of \u200bthe Federal\u2064 Government, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). The \u200bsubcommittee is currently investigating former President Donald\u200b Trump&#8217;s claims that the Department of \u200bJustice was weaponized against him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You\u200d know, of\u2062 course, you\u200c would expect, in\u200c any Congress, to have\u2064 the majority of \u2064one side, when there\u2063 is a\u200c precedent from the other\u200c party bringing \u200daccusations and having oversight\u200d over that administration,&#8221; Plaskett expressed during an interview with MSNBC host Ali Velshi. &#8220;But\u200d what\u2019s more insidious, Ali, and what\u2019s more damaging to our democracy as a whole,\u200c is the fact that the weaponization \u2062committee, led\u2064 by chairman\u200b Jim Jordan, is\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democratic-rep-stacey-plaskett-claims-investigations-by-congress-are-damaging-to-our-democracy\/\" title=\"Rep.
