House Democrats may seek Ivanka Trump's testimony in probe of ill-fated Moscow deal: report
SalonHouse Democrats may seek testimony from first daughter Ivanka Trump in their investigation into Russia’s influence in the 2016 presidential election and potential ties to Donald Trump, Axios reports. One lawmaker noted the party has “made no decision as to Ivanka Trump,” but pointed to public reports “about her involvement in the Trump Tower Moscow deal.” Communications relating to the ill-fated Trump Tower Moscow deal occurred in tandem with Trump’s presidential run. The investigation into Ivanka’s role in Trump Tower Moscow is part of a larger oversight probe Democrats intend to pursue as the new majority. One member told Axios that House Democrats plan to look into the Trump family finances, despite the president warning special counsel Robert Mueller that doing so would be a “red line.” Unlike with Mueller’s investigation, Trump has little say over whether a House investigation into his private business continues.
