CONGRESS/DEMS/TRUMP BUSINESS: “Two senior Democratic investigators in the U.S. Congress said on Thursday [11-29-18] they want to hear testimony from officials of President Donald Trump’s family foundation and a separate nonprofit group that once employed Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker. In a preview of the kinds of inquiries Democrats may launch in January when they take over the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, its top Democrat, Elijah Cummings, and colleague Gerry Connolly bemoaned the Trump Foundation’s failure to respond so far to requests for information about its taxes. In a letter to committee Republican Mark Meadows, Cummings and Connolly complained about Meadows’ plan to hold a hearing on Wednesday [11-28-18] about the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit founded by former Democratic President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.”
