it reads like the boards:
pg8-8 -long listof topics that House Democrats planned to investigateand stated, “We have our boxing gloveson. I’m ready. And so is Nancy.”30.The Democrats’ “focus,” according to then–Minority WhipSteny Hoyer, would beexamining“the President in terms of what [business] interests he has”from his time as a private citizen.That focuswould include the President’sfamily. Future Oversight Committee member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, forinstance,responded to a jokeby the President’s son Donald Trump Jr. with an explicit threat: “Please keep it coming Jr –it’s definitely a ‘very, very large brain’idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.” The Democrats wantthis personalinformation in the hopes they willfind somethingthey can use to score political points against the Presidentleading up to the 2020 election.31.HouseDemocrats areexecuting their planin earnest. Recently, several Housecommittees issueda flurry of subpoenas and requests for informationabout the President’s family, personal finances, and businesses. Just one request by Chairman Nadler of the House Judiciary Committee, for example, asked 81 different individuals for information about President Trump.32.Afew days ago, House Republicans discovered that Chairman Cummings hadexecuted secret memorandaof understanding with Chairman Adam Schiff of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Chairwoman Maxine Waters of the House Financial Services Committee. In thememoranda, the Chairs agreedto coordinate their subpoenas in order to inflict maximum political damage on President Trump. According to one congressional official with knowledge of the memoranda, they are “an agreement to conspire and coordinate their efforts to attack and investigate POTUS”by targeting his business and financial records.
