Saw this on FB, but apparently the Washington Post is reporting it too, so hope it's not 'fake news' :
A top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee has filed a "resolution of inquiry" into President Donald J. Trump. It can be considered a first step in the process of attempting to impeach a federal official; the last time a resolution of inquiry was considered on the House floor was in 1995, against then-President Bill Clinton.
Congressman Jerrold Nadler, (D-NY) filed the articles; Nadler is the second ranking democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, which responds to such filings.
"Donald Trump has refused to step away from his business interests in any meaningful way," Nadler said in a statement announcing the move, “his foreign entanglements are likely unconstitutional, he has repeatedly refused to disclose his financial assets, and he is clouded by the specter of Russian intervention in the election and his Administration.”
According to official rules, the Judiciary Committee must respond to the Articles of Inquiry within 14 legislative days, or Congressional workdays. If the committee doesn’t take up the matter within that time, Congressman Nadler could bring up the matter on the floor of the House of Representatives.
