LEGAL/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP BUSINESS: “A federal subpoena seeking documents from Donald Trump’s inaugural committee is part of ‘a hysteria’ over the fact that he’s president, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said on Tuesday [2-5-19]. Federal prosecutors in New York issued the wide-ranging subpoena Monday [2-4-19], furthering a federal inquiry into a fund that has faced mounting scrutiny into how it raised and spent $107 million on events celebrating Trump’s 2017 inauguration. Inaugural committee spokeswoman Kristin Celauro told The Associated Press the committee was still reviewing the subpoena and ‘It is our intention to cooperate with the inquiry.’ The investigation is the latest in a series of criminal inquiries into Trump’s campaign and presidency.”
