Democrats eye revival of Russia probe if they win House
Here’s a look at what Democrats are likely to investigate if they take the House majority.
1) MONEY LAUNDERING
Schiff has repeatedly said a priority for Democrats would be investigating whether Russians used laundered money for transactions with the Trump Organization.
2) MORE WITNESSES
The Democrats issued a list in March of several dozen people whom the committee hadn’t yet interviewed when the Russia investigation was shut down.
3) PUBLIC HEARINGS
Democrats would probably spread the investigation over several other committees, opening it up and allowing for public hearings with top Trump officials.
4) DONALD TRUMP JR.
Democrats have pushed for more information about the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., and communications with his father and other aides related to a June 2016 meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer.
5) TRUMP’S TAXES
Democrats in the majority would probably push for the release of Trump’s tax returns, a task that would be up to the House Ways and Means Committee.
6) ISSUES RELATED TO COLLUSION
Cambridge Analytica & Republican operative Peter W. Smith
7) PROTECTION FOR ROBERT MUELLER
A Democratic House would probably try to move legislation to protect special counsel Mueller.
