In particular, Democrats on the panel are interested in White House senior adviser Jared Kushner's testimony about his actions prior to having his security clearance downgraded from "top secret" to "secret," Reuters reported.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking Democrat on the committee, wrote a letter to Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Wednesday urging the chairman to subpoena the White House for documents.
