Analysis: The 6 most potentially damaging congressional investigations for Trump, ranked
By Amber Phillips Amber Phillips Reporter for The Fix covering Congress, statehouses Email Bio Follow April 11 at 6:00 AM Ever since Democrats took control of the House of Representatives, they’ve focused much of their investigative firepower on President Trump. Half a dozen committees have begun probes into everything from his tax returns to whether he obstructed the investigation into his campaign and what he told the Russian president behind closed doors.
What this could mean for Trump: Some on Mueller’s team say there’s more obstruction-related news in their report than the attorney general shared. But if an independent investigator ostensibly couldn’t find enough evidence to clearly implicate the president in a crime, it’s doubtful a deeply divided Congress will. And even if lawmakers did find something, it almost certainly would be viewed by many Americans through the lens of partisanship.
They want to know if Trump fudged how much money he really had to get loans or to dodge real estate taxes. Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, testified to Congress earlier this year that Trump bumped up his net worth to try to buy the Buffalo Bills football team, for example. The committee also wants to know why Trump’s financial documents once failed to disclose some $75 million in debt on a Chicago Trump Tower.Likelihood of getting the documents: Pretty high.
