The committee seeks to compel witness testimony and documents from several high-profile Trump associates and current and former officials, including the president's son-in-law and senior adviser
The subpoenas, which are almost certain to be authorized by the Democratic-led panel, would require the current and former officials to provide information about the administration's"zero tolerance policy and other family separation policies and practices; detention of children and families; and discussions about or offers of presidential pardons to Department of Homeland Security officials or employees," according to the committee.
Thursday's committee vote will only authorize the subpoenas. The issuance of them will be left to Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat. He further said that the panel will"move forward with our efforts to request information from critical witnesses as part of our ongoing investigation into obstruction, corruption and abuse of power by the President and his associates."
The 448-page Mueller report detailed at least 10 instances of potential obstruction of justice, including attempts to thwart the 22-month-long probe into Russian election interference by having the special counsel removed from his post.
