The Judiciary Committee of the US House of Representatives on Monday announced a sweeping investigation into President Donald Trump’s election campaign, businesses, transition and administration, CNN reported.

The Committee on Monday sent letters to 81 people and entities—including the White House, the Justice Department, senior campaign officials, Trump Organization officials, and the President's sons—marking the start of a broad investigation that will tackle questions including possible corruption, obstruction of justice, hush-money payments to women, collusion with Russia, and allegations of the President abusing his office and using it for personal gain.

The requests outline a sprawling investigation, seeking documents and communications on several issues.

The Committee members are demanding responses within two weeks.

If these people and entities refuse to provide the requested information, the Committee may demand that they testify before the Congress.

The evidence gathered in the investigation would be the basis of a possible impeachment proceeding against Trump.
