Democratic lawmakers target who's who of Trump insiders - but not Ivanka, John Kelly, Gary Cohn and others
WASHINGTON - Some of President Donald Trump’s closest advisers, including his daughter Ivanka, were missing from a list of people from whom Democratic lawmakers sought documents on Monday, but she could conceivably be targeted next, the committee chairman said.
Also absent from the list were former senior White House officials, including Chief of Staff John Kelly and economic adviser Gary Cohn. Both spent more than a year in Trump’s inner circle and have featured prominently in books and other published accounts of conditions in the Trump White House. “All we’re asking for at this point is information they’ve already turned over so that can be done quickly and without questions of privilege,” Nadler told CNN.
Asked if Ivanka Trump could conceivably be on the next list of people from whom information is sought, the Democratic lawmaker told CNN: “Conceivably certainly, I can’t say. Quite conceivably.”Nadler’s committee aims to determine whether the Republican president obstructed justice by possibly offering pardons or tampering with witnesses and by ousting perceived enemies, such as former FBI Director James Comey.
