Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, is pressuring the Republican committee majority to take steps to investigate President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner over his foreign business activities.

On Thursday, Mr. Raskin sent a letter (pdf) to Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), requesting that he approve a subpoena to compel Mr. Kushner to provide records of his communications with members of the government of Saudi Arabia, as well as records of Saudi public investment in his business firm, A Fin Management LLC (also known as Affinity).
