President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign claims Democrats are using congressional investigations to “topple the will of the American people.”
President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign issued a statement claiming Democrats in Congress are trying to “topple the will of the American people” by investigating the president’s alleged abuses of power.
On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee requested Trump-related documents from 81 individuals and organizations and announced it is opening another investigation into “allegations of corruption, obstruction, and abuses of power” around the president. Last week, Representative Maxine Waters, a California Democrat who chairs the House Committee on Financial Services, said she wants to explore the president’s defunct non-profit, the Trump Foundation, over suspicions of tax evasion.
“I think there’s more than we know about at this time,” said Waters, Politico reported. “I think that’s an area that should be looked at, because I think the foundation has been used by him to avoid paying taxes on money he’s earned." The special counsel is also looking into whether the president’s actions, such as tweeting about the investigation’s witnesses and firing the former FBI Director James Comey, amount to obstruction of justice.
