House panel seeks documents on 81 people linked to Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is criticizing a sweeping House probe of President Donald Trump and his administration, calling it “a disgraceful and abusive investigation into tired, false allegations.”
Trump himself summed up his reaction in one word: “Ridiculous!”
The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, congressman Jerrold Nadler of New York, said Monday his panel is beginning the probe into possible obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power.
