An ex-adviser to President Trump has signaled he and as many as four others will not cooperate with the House Judiciary Committee's sweeping demand for documents. The request from the Judiciary Committee was for Caputo to give them any documents related to Russian government contact with Trump associates. Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., described the effort as part of a new probe into "alleged obstruction of justice, public corruption, and other abuses of power by President Trump." "Over the last several years, President Trump has evaded accountability for his near-daily attacks on our basic legal, ethical, and constitutional rules and norms,” Nadler said in a statement. “Investigating these threats to the rule of law is an obligation of Congress and a core function of the House Judiciary Committee."
