For the last two years, the House of Representatives (under GOP control) has refused to conduct any real investigation of Donald Trump. If anything, their efforts were more to whitewash Trump's actions instead of investigating them.

With the Democrats taking control of the House after the last election, much has been made of the House now conducting a real investigation of Trump's misdeeds. What does the general public think. Do they want the House to investigate Trump? The answer is a resounding YES!

About 57% want House Dems to investigate Trump's collusion with Russia in the 2016 election, about 61% want them to investigate Trump's financial ties to foreign powers, about 59% want them to investigate Trump's ties to Putin, and about 60% want them to obtain and release Trump's tax returns.

The American people want to know the truth. They want to know if Trump is a criminal. And they are counting on the House Dems to find and expose that truth.
