House Democrats have multiple investigations running into President Donald Trump but the White House is resisting efforts to obtain information and documents.
President Donald Trump is reportedly doing all he can to resist efforts by House Democrats to obtain documents and information relating to their multiple ongoing investigations into his administration and business dealings.
“They are fighting us on everything now, Representative Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, told the publication. “It’s an assault on the separation of powers and specifically the congressional oversight function.”Since the Democrats won back control of the House in the midterms, the party has been hard at work investigating the president and those around him amid suspicions of wrongdoing. President Trump regards these investigations as an abuse of political power and without merit.
The House Ways and Means Committee is trying to draw out Trump's tax returns from the IRS amid suspicions of fraud, denied by the president. And the House Foreign Affairs Committee is looking into Trump’s business relationships abroad to see if they have had any influence on his presidency. And the intelligence and financial services committee subpoenaed Deutsche Bank, among other institutions, for information relating to its longtime relationship with Trump and his businesses.
