DEMS/FBI/HOUSE OF REPS/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “The incoming Democratic chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee intends to investigate President Donald Trump’s impact on the integrity of the Justice Department and the FBI, according to a letter sent to top federal law enforcement officials on Tuesday. Representative Jerrold Nadler, now the panel’s top Democrat, gave acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and FBI Director Christopher Wray until Dec. 31 to respond to more than 100 letters House Democrats have already sent concerning Trump’s behavior toward U.S. law enforcement, including verbal attacks on senior officials…The letter, surfacing a week after U.S. congressional elections gave Democrats control of the House, is an early sign of the heightened scrutiny that Trump and his administration can expect after the new Congress convenes in January. Democrats are worried that Trump could undermine a federal investigation into Russia’s role in interfering with the 2016 presidential election and any collusion by the Trump campaign. The probe is being led by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller.”
