House Judiciary Committee issues 81 document requests in Trump obstruction probe
WASHINGTON - A U.S. congressional panel said on Monday that it has served document requests on 81 government agencies, entities and individuals as part of an investigation into alleged obstruction of justice and other abuses by President Donald Trump and others.
“We have seen the damage done to our democratic institutions in the two years that the Congress refused to conduct responsible oversight. Congress must provide a check on abuses of power,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said in a statement. Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the department has received the committee’s letter and is evaluating the request.
The investigation was subsequently taken over by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is expected to end his investigation and report his findings to Attorney General William Barr in coming weeks.
