It’s ON! Read the 81 names from whom the House Judiciary Committee wants answers in massive Trump corruption probe
It would be fair to say that the major political events of last week, particularly testimony by celebrity property mogul Donald J. Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, marked the end of the beginning of Trump’s troubles — a mountain of scandals about to collapse on Trump, his alleged presidency, his business dealings, his public reputation, and perhaps even his family and marriage.
Today marks the beginning of the end for Trump.
The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee delivered a flurry of document demands to the executive branch and the broader Trump world on Monday that detailed the breadth of the Democrats’ investigation into possible obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power by President Trump and his administration.
In the two months since they took control of the House, Democrats have begun investigating members of the president’s cabinet, his businesses, his campaign, his inaugural committee and his ties to key foreign powers, including Russia and its attempts to disrupt the 2016 presidential election.
But Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, the Judiciary Committee chairman, made clear on Monday that the new majority intends to train its attention on actions at the heart of Mr. Trump’s norm-bending presidency — actions that could conceivably form the basis of a future impeachment proceeding.
The letters from Mr. Nadler, dated March 4, went to 81 agencies, individuals and other entities tied to the president, including the Trump Organization, the Trump campaign, the Trump Foundation, the presidential inaugural committee, the White House, the Justice Department, the F.B.I. and dozens of the president’s closest aides who counseled him as he launched attacks against federal investigations into him and his associates, the press, and the federal judiciary. The committee will also investigate accusations of corruption, including possible violations of campaign finance law, the Constitution’s ban on foreign emoluments and the use of office for personal gain.

WaPo‘s Aaron Blake notes that seven names caught his eye, and his analysis is well worth a read.
Early this afternoon, in a predictably obnoxious comment uring a photo-op, Trump said, “I cooperate all the time with everybody. You know, the beautiful thing, no collusion. It’s all a hoax.”
By “all,” do you mean your entire presidency?
Because we’d buy that as one of the few truthful statements you have ever made!
DEVELOPING…
