Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) released a statement Monday saying the subpoenas seek "information about foreign government payments accepted by six Trump properties, as well as trademarks granted to Trump businesses by foreign governments." They are asking for responses by July 29.
