Democrats Seek Probe of Trump Conflicts of Interest
Democratic members of the House oversight committee are asking the Republican chairman to begin a serious investigation into President Donald Trump’s conflicts of interest.

The lawmakers want Gowdy to issue a subpoena compelling the Trump Organization to produce, by Jan. 20, documents requested more than eight months ago on subjects including how the company was donating foreign government profits at its hotels to the U.S. Treasury.
Gowdy’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
