The House Judiciary Committee Wants Donald Trump Jr.'s Documents For A New Investigation
Democrats took over the House after last year's midterms, and since then, they've wasted little time pursuing their goals. Now, the House Judiciary Committee wants Donald Trump Jr.'s documents as part of a new investigation, chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler told ABC this weekend. The probe, however, hasn't been officially launched just yet.

"We are starting this investigation, we will — tomorrow we will be issuing document requests to over 60 different people and individuals from the White House, to the Department of Justice, Donald Trump Jr., Alan Weisselberg to begin investigations to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power," Nadler said on ABC's This Week, according to a transcript from the segment.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. He did so again on Sunday.
"I am an innocent man being persecuted by some very bad, conflicted & corrupt people in a Witch Hunt that is illegal & should never have been allowed to start — And only because I won the Election!" Trump tweeted. "Despite this, great success!"
Bustle has reached out to the White House for comment.
During his appearance on This Week, Nadler said the full list of people the committee is requesting documents from will be released on Monday, but he conceded that former White House chief of Staff John Kelly may be on it. He also added that "this investigation goes far beyond collusion," and pointed to "attacks on the freedom of the press, the press called the enemy of the people, we’ve seen attacks on the Department of Justice, attacks on the FBI, attacks on – on judges."
