House Judiciary chair says that the committee is launching an investigation into the Trump administration's 'corruption'


Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the House Judiciary Committee chair, told host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday's edition of ABC's This Week that his committee "will be issuing document requests to over 60 different people and individuals from the White House to the Department of Justice," including Donald Jump, Jr. and Allen Weisselberg, the CFO of the Trump Organization, on Monday.
Nadler said the requests are the beginning of an investigation "to present the case to the American people about obstruction of justice, corruption, and abuse of power" and that it will go far beyond allegations of the Trump campaign's collusion with Russian election interference.
He said the full list of people who will be receiving document requests will be released on Monday. Tim O'Donnell
