INVESTIGATIONS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “The House Judiciary Committee announced Monday [3-18-19] that it received responses from a ‘large number’ of the 81 individuals and entities who were asked to provide documents as part of the panel’s wide-ranging investigation into obstruction of justice allegations against President Donald Trump — but the committee was mum on details about who complied…The broad request for information came as the Judiciary Committee — the panel that has the power to launch impeachment proceedings against the president — kicked off its sweeping probe into allegations of corruption, abuses of power, and obstruction of justice against Trump. The committee demanded documents from Trump’s namesake company, campaign, transition team and inaugural committee, in addition to dozens of Trump’s longtime associates and the president’s two adult sons, among others. Many of those individuals have already been ensnared in ongoing federal investigations, and others were implicated in former Trump attorney and fixer Michael Cohen’s recent appearances before three congressional committees.”
