Top Dems threatens Trump officials to "resort to other means of obtaining compliance" on Obamacare documents

High-level Democratic legislators are stalling the administration's decision not to defend the Obama Care Act or ObamaCare.

Several committee chairs have warned the Attorney General and White House lawyers that they would seek "alternative" measures to obtain documents relating to the Trump administration's decision not to defend ObamaCare in court if the two top Trump officials did not comply with their demands.

The Democrats added in their letter that they "would consider other ways to get compliance" if the two men did not respond to their demands, according to the letter. The actions that the House Democrats might take are unclear, but the House oversight committee led by Cummings issued subpoenas for documents and testimony with the White House.

Last month, the presidents first sent letters to the White House and the Ministries of Justice, as well as to Health and Social Services, in which they requested access to documents explaining the decision not to defend the law and to identify the officials who participated in its drafting.

Both Trump officials have until May 24 to hand over the documents, according to CBS. The Cummings Committee, the House's monitoring and government reform group, would also like to hear from the Chief of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Russ Vought.

Democrats had previously warned the Trump government last month that failure to defend the health care bill, signed by President Obama, would be a violation of the executive's duties to vigorously defend laws passed by Congress.

"This refusal seems to violate long-standing policies to defend and enforce congressional laws. will have a significant negative impact on the accessibility of health care for Americans; and seems to be motivated by political considerations rather than legal arguments, "wrote the legislators group in April.

Last month, Barr told the Democrats that the courts would block his decision if it was deemed "scandalous," as they said.

"If you think it's such a scandalous position, you have nothing to fear, let the courts do their job," he said at the time.
