WASHINGTON DC: House Democrats are opening an investigation into what they say are abuses of power by President Donald Trump through his attacks on the courts, the Justice Department, the FBI and the media, according to a House official familiar with the plans. The Judiciary Committee led by Democrat Jerrold Nadler of New York will announce the probe in days, the official said. But the effort comes amid a broader push by Democrats now controlling the House to investigate actions of the president and his administration. The planned public hearings and findings also will give Democrats their own platform to allege, explore and spotlight abuses of power. The committee will study whether such actions either reflect or blur the Constitution’s separation of powers, said the official.
