Prosecutors in New York’s Southern District have subpoenaed documents from President Donald Trump’s inauguration committee, sources with direct knowledge told ABC News, indicating that even as the special counsel probe appears to be nearing an end, another investigation that could hamstring the president and his lawyers is widening.

The contact from the Southern District, which came from its public corruption section, is the latest activity focusing on Trump’s political fundraising both before and immediately after his 2016 election.


“We have just received a subpoena for documents. While we are still reviewing the subpoena, it is our intention to cooperate with the inquiry,” a spokesperson for the inauguration told ABC News.

Prosecutors are seeking documents and records related to the committee’s donors to the massive inauguration fund, according to sources familiar with the request. Prosecutors are also seeking attendees to the events surrounding the inauguration including benefits to top level donors such as photo opportunities with President Trump, sources said...................................

2. I read a post here about a week ago that said Trump had raised more than $200M for the

2020 campaign already and had remaining only $19M currently on hand. Prosecutors at the SDNY need to investigate that. How can he have raised over $200M dollars already for the 2020 campaign and have only $19M currently on hand? He hasn't hired anyone. His shoebox sized campaign committee of 2016 are either all in jail, on trial, working in the White House in which they can't be doing both at the same time, or has been disbanded. So where did that $200M go, unless he's already stolen it and converted it to his personal account. With all that Executive Time, he hasn't had time to do anything else. He hasn't even been conducting any rallys, so how is it that he's already spent almost $200M already on the 2020 campaign when the 2020 Campaign is still almost 2 years away. Where did the money go?

Federal prosecutors in New York on Monday delivered a sweeping request for documents related to donations and spending by President Trump’s inaugural committee, a sign of a deepening criminal investigation.

A wide-ranging subpoena served on the inaugural committee Monday seeks an array of documents, including all information related to inaugural donors, vendors, contractors, bank accounts of the inaugural committee and any information related to foreign contributors to the committee, according to a copy reviewed by The Washington Post.

Only U.S. citizens and legal residents can legally donate to a committee established to finance presidential inaugural festivities.

“We have just received a subpoena for documents. While we are still reviewing the subpoena, it is our intention to cooperate with the inquiry,” a spokesman for the committee said.
