Original Note:
This is not a shadow government. The minority party in Congress can hold what's known as "shadow hearings" or "minority hearings," but these are unofficial and do not carry the same authority as formal congressional hearings held by the majority party. They are legal. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/RS22637 https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/04/07/congress/dems-question-former-doj-officials-00277368
