Will Trump’s childhood barber get a document request?The ambiguity of the House Judiciary investigation may be intentional since the probe’s open-endedness allows Democrats to drag out the probe for as long as they see it as something that helps them in the run-up to the 2020 elections.On March 3, Nadler said he already believes Trump obstructed justice.
