The House Judiciary Committee will request documents on Monday from President Donald Trump's oldest son, his business and more than 60 individuals in his administration, the panel's chair said Sunday. In an interview with ABC News' "This Week," Rep. Jerry Nadler said the requests for documents are to "begin investigations, to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, about corruption and abuse of power." The New York Democrat said the full list of individuals and entities would be released Monday, but he mentioned Donald Trump Jr. and Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg. Nadler also said the list would likely include former White House chief of staff John Kelly and former White House counsel Don McGahn. Since taking power in the wake of November's midterm elections, House Democrats have vowed to investigate Trump's presidency and business as they await the special counsel Robert Mueller investigation's findings. Critics pointed to the President's firing of then-FBI Director James Comey in 2017 as a potential obstruction of justice, as Trump told NBC News he was thinking about the Russia investigation when he decided to remove Comey.

Besides Comey's firing, prosecutors appear to be examining Trump's role in crafting the misleading Air Force One statement in 2017 on the now-infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians attended by Trump Jr. Another episode centers on Trump's attempt to have his then-White House counsel McGahn dispute news reports that he threatened to quit over Trump's pressure to oust Mueller, CNN previously reported. Weisselberg was granted immunity in August by federal prosecutors for providing information on former Trump attorney Michael Cohen's role in hush money payments to women alleging affairs with Trump. He has repeatedly denied having affairs with the women. But Cohen's hearing before the House Judiciary Committee last week piqued congressional Democrats' interest in hearing from Weisselberg, as Cohen said the Trump Organization official had insight into Trump's tax filings.

The rubber is beginning to meet the road concerning obstruction and financial crimes.

Sounds to me like they're casting as wide a net as is possible in order to find something....ANYTHING that they can use as cause for impeachment.

Remember Democrats...what goes around, comes around.
 
MORE BULL**** " INVESTIGATIONS" of PERSONS, in "SEARCH OF A CRIME".

I might agree with you except every time we turn around we find another Trump associate under indict or another cabinet member having to resign or under investigation. It makes me think that they have some possible evidence on all of those who they have requested info from. Plus all probably have info on target of their or Mueller's investigations. No matter what, the Trumpites will be in court fighting these requests when they become subpoenas. I wonder how Trump JR. will do when asked to come back to the House and answer questions and not be able to just say I won't answer like he did when the Gopers were in control.

Yes, it was a huge mistake for the Republicans to not launch investigations when Obama was president! :lamo

Especially when the Obama Swamp KGB-FBI/DOJ issued BLANKET IMMUNITY to the main perps/witnesses/co-conspirators, destroyed evidence, and blocked any real investigations...

Not one single link to Russian collusion.

It's not a threat if it's something Republicans have already done and were going to do anyway.

Like the Clinton impeachment followed by the current situation.
