Lawmakers Press Ahead with Trump Era Probes
November 12, 2020 at 7:13 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Donald Trump will be a private citizen in January. But Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill are poised to carry on the investigations and legal battles that helped define his presidency. In the House, Democrats are still in court fighting to obtain Trumps financial records and testimony from his first White House counsel Don McGahn, a key figure in the obstruction of justice case against Trump, Politico reports.
In the Senate, where GOP control hinges on two Jan. 5 runoffs in Georgia, Republican lawmakers are plotting ways to expand and intensify their investigations targeting the former Obama administration and President-elect Joe Biden and his son Hunter, with Senate Republicans saying they will use the lame duck period to ramp up their probes.
