US Democratic lawmakers launched Monday their most ambitious investigation yet into alleged obstruction of justice and abuse of office by Donald Trump, targeting dozens of individuals in the president’s inner circle. With controversies swirling around Trump, the powerful House Judiciary Committee’s chairman sent strongly worded letters to family members of the president — including sons Don Jr and Eric — as well as political confidantes and related entities. Son-in-law Jared Kushner and the Trump Organization’s longtime chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, were among the 81 people and organizations — such as the National Rifle Association — receiving letters from the panel’s Democratic chairman Jerry Nadler.
