2016 ELECTION/LGEAL/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee confirmed Monday [2-4-19] that it had received a subpoena from federal prosecutors in New York as part of an investigation into the group’s fundraising activities. ‘While we are still reviewing the subpoena, it is our intention to cooperate with the inquiry,’ the committee said in a statement. Owen Blicksilver, a committee spokesman, declined to elaborate on the scope of the government’s request. The investigation is being led by prosecutors from the Southern District of New York in Manhattan, and represents potentially more legal trouble for the Trump administration as it continues to confront the ongoing inquiry into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and other spinoff investigations. A copy of the new subpoena, reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, indicated that prosecutors had sought all documents linked to the committee’s fundraising activities, including donors and those who provided services to the organization.”
