The House Judiciary Committee is investigating President Donald Trump’s former White House communications director after new documents cast doubt on whether she told the truth while testifying before Congress.

“Hicks told the committee last month that she was not aware of the hush payment to Stormy Daniels when it was arranged. Today’s docs put her in phone calls with [Michael] Cohen and Trump during the period the payment was arranged, but don’t explicitly say those calls were about the payment,” Wall Street JournalWhite House correspondent Rebecca Ballhaus reported.

… I do suggest we all vote for Dems, take over all branches of government and change the rules so these people answer the subpoenas promptly. And, if they lie, give the Congress power to jail them. also, if they have trouble making the date to appear, put them in jail; then, they will appear promptly. People are supposed to answer subpoenas and tell the truth - yet these Trump people don't. If there are no consequences, this will be normal. So, to repeat, I am not a member of Congress, so I'm not up on all the options...but I do know we need to change something in order for the Trump staff to follow the law.
