The Mueller probe is over, but here are 6 active congressional investigations into Trump

The Mueller probe is over, but here are 6 active congressional investigations into Trump

House Judiciary Committee

House Intelligence Committee

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired by Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, reopened their investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Schiff has frequently gotten under Trump's skin with his probes. The committee is also conducting similar investigations to the Judiciary Committee.

House Oversight and Reform Committee

The House Oversight and Reform Committee, chaired by Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, is looking into potential malpractice in how security clearances have been issued in the White House since Trump took office.

The committee is also probing Trump's finances by investigating Mazars USA, the president's accounting firm. A federal judge recently ordered Mazars USA to comply with subpoenas for Trump's records.

House Financial Services Committee

The House Financial Services Committee is investigating Trump's connections with Deutsche Bank, in addition to whether any financial crimes were committed.

The committee's chairwoman, California Rep. Maxine Waters, has repeatedly enraged Trump, prompting him to lash out on Twitter and mock her.

House Committee on Ways & Means

The House Committee on Ways & Means is Congress' oldest committee and where all tax writing happens. But the committee is in a unique spot over the fight to obtain and review Trump's personal tax returns.

The committee has so far failed to claw Trump's taxes from the IRS, with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin interceding each request to claim the Ways & Means Chairman Rep. Richard Neal has no such authority.

Senate Intelligence Committee

The only Republican-led investigation is from the Senate Intelligence Committee, chaired by North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr.

Burr has been slowly conducting a bipartisan investigation into the Russian interference and election security. But the committee angered Republicans and allies of the president when Burr authorized a subpoena for Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr.
