House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff announced Wednesday a broad investigation his committee would undertake "beyond Russia" into whether President Donald Trump's financial interests are driving his actions.
Schiff said the investigation would "allow us to investigate any credible allegation that financial interests or other interests are driving decision-making of the President or anyone in the administration." "That pertains to any credible allegations of leverage by the Russians or the Saudis or anyone else," Schiff told reporters after the House Intelligence Committee's first meeting in the new Congress. In a statement, Schiff said the investigation would include a continued probe into Russia's actions during the 2016 election and contacts between the Russia and Trump's team, as well as an examination of "whether any foreign actor has sought to compromise or holds leverage, financial or otherwise, over Donald Trump, his family, his business, or his associates."
Schiff said the investigation, which could involve additional congressional committees, would also look at whether Trump or his associates have "sought to influence US government policy in service of foreign interests" and any potential obstruction into the various investigations.
Schiff's announcement is the most detailed look yet into how congressional Democrats will investigate Trump's finances and possible ties to foreign entities, and how Democrats are sure to continue probing Trump and his team well after special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation had concluded.

Everyone they call should give them the Lois Lerner treatment...just ignore them and walk out. Nothing happened to her. Hillary destroyed 33,000 government emails. She wasnt even put under oath and told them nothing. Nothing happened to her.
The Russian collusion narrative is falling apart, so Adam Short Shrift needs another angle to keep the investigations going.
Adam, you Democrats have gone to the bullshirt well once too often.
Everybody is tired of your bullshirt.
Go tell your boss George Soros that your bullshirt well is dry.
I pray someone investigates them. We need to know their names and the amount of hush money paid out for their sexual harassments, and how many. We need to know the details and let them offer their lame excuses.
Trump needs to start throwing some democrats in jail...
If he is holding any cards he had better play them.
Shitt needs his ass kicked.
It’s getting to be about time for some unsavory things about Adam Schiff to begin coming to light. Just look at him, look at his associations. It’ll happen soon enough.
From the party that denied that Russian agents had infiltrated the Truman administration.
Pot meet kettle.
Can someone drug test Schiff?
Isn’t there laws against fishing expeditions?
There's nothing democratic about the Democrat party.
......House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schitt.......
Haw-haw!
Same witch hunt, new name.
If this is not abuse of power, then I don’t know what is.
Prior to President Trump, Washington was the wealthiest President.

Gee-Is that ‘governing’? Is that why they were elected to represent their constituents?
THOSE are our tax dollars at work
Time waste - these Dems forgot that they are supposed to govern an not use “oversight” as an excuse to harass.
