U.S. House panel will seek documents from more than 60 people and organizations as it launches investigations into possible obstruction by Trump:
WASHINGTON - The House Judiciary Committee will seek documents from more than 60 people and organizations as it begins investigations into possible obstruction of justice and abuse of power by President Donald Trump, the panel’s chairman said on Sunday.
“It’s very clear that the president obstructed justice,” Nadler said. He said it was too soon to consider whether impeachment should be pursued, however. That investigation was subsequently taken over by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is expected to deliver his findings to the U.S. attorney general within weeks.
Nadler said that on Monday the committee will release the list of people and organizations it would request documents from. Trump told a group of conservative activists and politicians on Saturday that investigators want to look at his finances and business dealings because no evidence of collusion has been found. “All of a sudden they are trying to take you out with bullshit,” he said.
Congressional investigators will also look at whether Trump used the White House for personal enrichment in violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clause, he said.
