President Donald Trump blasted House Democrats on Monday after they announced the launch of a new 'abuse of power' investigation with 81 separate document requests to people and organizations inside the president's orbit.
'It’s a political hoax,' Trump said as he hosted an event for college football players at the White House. 'I cooperate all the time with everybody,' he insisted, suggesting that the White House won't dodge the requests from Capitol Hill.
Monday's letters are requests — not subpoenas. Recipients aren't yet obligated to provide anything to Congress.
'You know the beautiful thing?' Trump asked as he joshed with the North Dakota State University football players. 'No collusion. It’s all a hoax. ... You’re going to learn about that as you grow older," Trump told the players before inviting them to lunch on a spread of fast food. 'It’s a political hoax.'
The Democrats' targets include his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner, disgraced former lawyer Michael Cohen and former adviser Roger Stone, who is awaiting trial.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Abuse of power? That’s exactly what the House Democrats are doing with their fishing expeditions into Trump’s campaign, presidency and private business affairs.
