Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) went after President Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk in the first Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee hearing Wednesday, saying lawmakers “can’t just sit here today and pretend like everything is normal.”

Stansbury, the top Democrat on the subcommittee, accused Republicans of shielding Musk and Trump “as they are clearly breaking the law,” before taking a swing at Vice President Vance, who she argued was “trying to rewrite the U.S. Constitution by tweet and undermine the judiciary.”

“Come and testify in front of the American people under oath, because we want to know what you’re up to,” she said.

“The people who actually investigate waste, fraud and abuse at these agencies are the inspector generals who Donald Trump fired his first week in office in a midnight massacre,” she said. “So we have to ask ourselves, what is really going on here?”
