The House Judiciary Committee on Monday announced it has requested documents from 81 individuals, agencies or entities – many among President Donald Trump’s inner circle – as part of a broad investigation into the President and any potential Constitutional abuses or corruption.
The Democratic-led committee has requested documents from two of the President’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump; his son-in-law Jared Kushner; as well as the White House, Department of Justice, FBI, Wikileaks and many others.
The requests are said to help to committee probe three different topics, according to Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler: “Obstruction of justice, including the potential interference by the President into criminal investigations; public corruption, including violations of the emoluments clause; and abuses of power, including attacks on the free press, the judiciary and law enforcement agencies,” NBC reported.

“We have sent these document requests in order to begin building the public record,” Nadler said. “We will act quickly to gather this information, assess the evidence, and follow the facts where they lead with full transparency with the American people.”
There is a deadline of two weeks to submit requested documents.
Others named in the list include several Trump organizations, such as the Trump Campaign, Trump Foundation, Trump Organization, 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee and Trump Transition.

There are several former Trump officials on the list, including former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.

The President had not yet publicly responded to this request, but he has been vocal about calling out “witch hunts” against him and his administration.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is heading the federal investigation into alleged Russian hacking of the 2016 Presidential election and potential collusion, has reportedly been made aware of this sweeping request from the House Judiciary Committee.
Trump Jr. tweeted on Monday morning, “I know House democrats are really busy investigating everyone that ever said the name Trump but hopefully they can make some time to investigate one of their own,” linking to a story about whether or not Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Jackie Speier disclosed classified information.
