Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is considering using a rarely-invoked Congressional power to fine Trump-administration officials up to $25,000 per day for evading subpoenas.

Schiff told the attendees at an Axios event that he would prefer hefty fines to jail time for Trump-administration officials who fail to comply with requests from Democrat-led committee investigations in the House of Representatives.
