The House Intelligence Committee has asked one of the top contractors to President Trump’s inaugural to provide it with documents about the event, a person familiar with the situation said on Wednesday, opening up a new line of inquiry into the planning and financing of the ceremonies. The request was disclosed by a lawyer for Ms. Winston Wolkoff in a letter this week to the inaugural committee. It is unclear what was requested, or why the intelligence committee is now involved. In February, federal prosecutors issued a subpoena to the inaugural committee demanding that it turn over documents about donors, finances and activities. The subpoena sought documents related to all of the committee’s donors and guests; any benefits handed out, including tickets and photo opportunities with the president; federal disclosure filings; vendors and contracts.
