Federal prosecutors subpoena Trump’s inaugural committee

Feb 4, 2019 | 7:52 PM

NEW YORK — Federal prosecutors in New York have issued a subpoena seeking documents from Donald Trump’s inaugural committee.

A spokeswoman says the committee intends to co-operate with the inquiry. She said the committee received the subpoena late Monday and was reviewing it.

It was not immediately clear which documents have been requested.

The Wall Street Journal reported last year that federal prosecutors are investigating whether inaugural committee donors made contributions in exchange for political favours. The newspaper said the inquiry also was focused on whether the inauguration misspent money it raised to stage inaugural events.
