Democratic staffers on the House Oversight and Judiciary committees are accusing Republicans of putting private citizens at risk through their high-profile investigation into President Joe Biden, according to a memo being circulated among lawmakers this week. 

In a memo sent to House Democrats on Monday, staffers on the two powerful committees decried the impeachment investigation into Biden, arguing that evidence obtained so far has only added “to the mountain of evidence rebutting the Chairmen’s false claims.” The missive also criticized Republicans for their slate of witness interviews that were later highly publicized, claiming it has “put the safety of private citizens at risk.”
