It is the most comprehensive investigation yet to be launched by the US Congress against President Trump. At the request of the Democrats, 81 organizations and individuals are expected to disclose documents, including Trump’s sons.
The Legal Committee of the US House of Representatives has begun a major investigation into President Donald Trump and his environment. It is about allegations of judicial disability, corruption and abuse of power.
As committee chairman Jerry Nadler further told opposition opposition Democrats, documents from 81 organizations and individuals have already been requested. These include Trump’s sons Donald Junior and Eric, who have headed the Trump Group since taking office, as well as his son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner.
Files requested for dismissal Comeys
Donald Trump Junior is expected to provide documents related to the dismissal of FBI chief James Comey by his father in May 2017. In addition, the panel is interested in documents relating to a meeting between Donald Trump Junior and a Russian lawyer during the June 2016 election campaign. He had agreed to the conversation after being offered dirt through Hillary Clinton, his father’s competitor.
The list of demands to the White House is also extensive. Again, there are documents related to the dismissal of Comey.
In addition, the government center is to disclose, according to the will of the Democrats, all communication between Trump and then legal counsel Donald McGahn, which could revolve around Trump’s ex-security adviser Michael Flynn and his contacts with the former Russian ambassador to Washington, Sergei Kisljak.
Manafort, Flynn and Cohen also part of the investigation
In addition, the Democrats demand the publication of documents that could deal with possible pardons for Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn or Michael Cohen by the President. The three men had to answer in court. A few months ago it had been speculated that Trump could pardon her after conviction. Cohen, Trump’s longtime lawyer, has since turned away from him. Last week, he testified in Congress against Trump.
The list that the Democrats have now submitted is the most comprehensive in Congressional research to date. In parallel with several committees in parliament, Special Enquirer Robert Mueller is investigating whether there were any collusion between the Trump camp and representatives of Russia in the alleged attempts to influence the US presidential election 2016 and whether Trump is obstructing justice with the dismissal of FBI head Comey Has.
