DEMS/HOUSE OF REPS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump responded Thursday [2-7-19] to the first waves of oversight investigations into his administration launched by the new Democratic majority in the House, alleging that he is being unfairly subjected to ‘unlimited presidential harassment’ that no previous president has faced. On Wednesday [2-6-19], House Intelligence Chairman Schiff (D-Calif.) announced the parameters of his committee’s revived Russia investigation, which he said would ‘go beyond’ Russian interference in the 2016 election and include whether Trump or his associates ‘have sought to influence U.S. government policy in service of foreign interests’ and ‘whether any foreign actor has sought to compromise or holds leverage, financial or otherwise, over Donald Trump, his family, his business, or his associates’…The investigation by Schiff’s committee is one of a slew that the president will face in a newly divided government that is now getting up to full steam after a monthlong government shutdown.”
