The House Oversight Committee plans to investigate Donald Trump's involvement in hush payments made to women during the 2016 presidential campaign, a senior Democratic aide on the committee told ABC News.

When the Democrats take control of the House in January and gain subpoena power, they plan to probe the president's role in payments to two women who alleged during the 2016 campaign that they had affairs with Trump, according to the aide.

Democratic members on the committee have already begun digging into the president's involvement, according to the aide. In September, the committee requested documents from the Trump organization, the aide added.

Trump has long denied that he knew of the payments, and has denied having affairs with the women.

1. Great! The thing is, they're not starting from scratch in these investigations.

They've already got a ton of information. I don't see exposing him as being greatly time-consuming and taking away from the important work of putting important bills on the agenda.

2. 2019, I suspect, will be a bad year for many

Lots of people falling off windows and committing suicide with two shots.

3. I hope they don't interfere in a SDNY investigation by giving anyone immunity for speaking.

That has hurt us in the past.

6. And if Trump committed perjury over it on any federal paperwork then of course

we can all expect the majority of the Repugnants to support impeachment right?
