[WASHINGTON] US Democratic lawmakers on Monday launched their most ambitious investigation yet into alleged obstruction of justice and abuse of office by Donald Trump, targeting dozens of individuals in the president's inner circle.
Son-in-law Jared Kushner and the Trump Organization's long-time chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, were among the 81 people and organisations, such as the National Rifle Association, that received letters from the panel's Democratic chairman Jerry Nadler.They also include White House ex-aides Steve Bannon and Hope Hicks, current Trump personal lawyer Jay Sekulow, former attorney general Jeff Sessions, and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
The chairmen of three other House panels also joined the fray on Monday, demanding the White House produce details of communications between Mr Trump and Mr Putin, after reports that such information was destroyed or hidden in the aftermath of their 2017 Helsinki summit. It also will address accusations of campaign finance law violations and potential violations of the US Constitution's ban on foreign emoluments.
Mr Pecker and AMI both received letters from Mr Nadler demanding information about their involvement.
