House Judiciary Committee chair Jerry Nadler issued a bevy of requests for documents to 81 Trump-affiliated people, corporations and institutions today, revealing an investigation that has the potential to be both wide-ranging and to delve deep into allegations of corruption in President Trump’s administration and his presidential campaign.


When taken together, the separate areas of inquiry portray a range of wrongdoing that’s breathtaking in its scope. The requests were backed by the threat of a subpoena.

From Michael Flynn’s time as national security adviser at the beginning of the Trump administration to varied allegations of pay-for-play between foreign officials and the White House, House investigators are homing in on allegations of self-dealing, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power at the highest levels of American government.

Other, less-scrutinized episodes appear to be squarely within their crosshairs. The committee is asking dozens of witnesses, for example, about their interactions with private equity manager Andrew Intrater and his cousin, Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg. Intrater’s company signed a $1 million consulting agreement with Michael Cohen after Trump took power, a relatively unexamined wrinkle in the furor over Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.
