In just one day, House committee chairs announced three new investigations into Trump.

House Democrats to Trump: We’re going to investigate everything



Over the last two years, the House of Representatives was controlled by Republicans, who ran interference for Trump, ensuring there would never be any legitimate investigation into his mountain of misdeeds.

Early on Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) sent a letter to the White House announcing an investigation into the Trump team’s shoddy handling of the security clearance process.

Just a couple hours later, House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY) said his committee will look into whether Trump’s tangled network of business dealings are influencing foreign policy decisions.

Also on Wednesday, we learned that House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) and House Financial Services Chair Maxine Waters (D-CA) are teaming up to dig into Deutsche Bank. - ShareBlue

The more heat, the better.

Trump is nothing more than a glorified Mob Boss.

Maybe enough to say they cooperated, but I would imagine they'll be playing hardball when it comes to turning over documents and making administration officials available.
