Lee (PA-12) joined Pennsylvania Democratic Congressional Delegation Dean Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) and Representatives Dwight Evans (PA-03), Madeleine Dean (PA-04), Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06), and Chris Deluzio (PA-17) in condemning the ruling in U.S. v. McIver and warning of the dangerous precedent it could set for congressional oversight.\n\nThe members released the following joint statement:\n\n\u201cThis ruling sets a dangerous precedent. Members of Congress must be able to conduct legitimate oversight of the Executive Branch without fear of criminal retaliation. Weaponizing the Justice Department against lawmakers for doing their jobs threatens the checks and balances at the heart of our democracy.\n\nThis case is bigger than any one particular Member. No president should be able to use federal law enforcement to intimidate political opponents or silence congressional oversight. We stand with Congresswoman LaMonica McIver as she continues this fight, and we will not be intimidated from carrying out our constitutional responsibilities.\u201d", 1, "2026-08-29T11:31:28Z", "2026-08-29T11:32:37Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://summerlee.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/rep-summer-lee-joins-pennsylvania-democratic-delegation-in-condemning-us-v-mciver-ruling"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2355716899037361, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
