House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) is leaving no stone unturned and no President Trump associate unquestioned.
From the moment the House flipped in Democrats' favor, Nadler pledged to investigate everything from Trump's campaign to his ouster of ex-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He continued that mission on Monday, requesting documents from 81 people and entities to "begin building the public record" in case the Justice Department chooses to "conceal the work of the special counsel's investigation from the public," Nadler said in a press release.
