Launched their lives ranging in age from 6 to 89 including 7 members of one family there are a handful of people still unaccounted for president plans to visit that area Friday and will join gov k. I.v. In a tour of some of the affected areas Michael Cohen is back on Capitol Hill today to make a follow up appearance before the House Intelligence Committee in private the president trumps a long time personal attorney and fixer testified for several hours before the Intel panel last week a day after a lengthy public hearing in the House Oversight Committee Cohen slam Trump and accused him of directing some of the crimes that Cohen committed according to President Trump the witch hunt continues at the White House yesterday he labeled the beefed up House investigations led by Democrats as presidential harassment it was a hoax there was no anything it's just grace just grace to our country and the Judiciary Committee sent the White House a massive request for documents A.B.C.'s Karen Travers joins us now from the White House city chance the White House will comply Karen Well you know the it's not just the White House here it's former aides like Hicks it Steve ban it it's the president's The Trump Organization his campaign the reelection campaign as well as his sons and his son in law so it's a very wide ranging The president yesterday saying that this is presidential harassment but the Judiciary Committee chairman Gerald there say they're doing what the Republicans did not do for the past 2 years and that they have to have a very wide ranging investigation and this is pretty sweeping this is also just one piece of this large puzzle here that the Democrats are putting together they're going to be launching investigations on very wide range of issues and topics and I think you can expect that as we see incremental developments from Capitol Hill you know requests for documents requests for interviews requests for testimony when the president gets asked specific questions about this I think you'll see him respond like he did yesterday and point the finger back at Democrats and say they're not doing policy like they're supposed to do these are a timeline for when the White House and these individuals have to respond the Democrats said they want. Information back by March 18th so it was about a 2 week deadline for them that's pretty fast that doesn't mean it's all over then I think it will play out for several months if not longer to have any new information on the battle over the security clearances at the White House you know the Democrats have asked for information about this about whether the president intervened against the recommendations to not give Jared Kushner that high level security clearance president was asked about this yesterday and he did not answer the specific question instead just started talking more broadly about the Democrats and their investigations something else the Democrats have their eyes on is the president's immigration policies and apparently that's going to come under scrutiny the homeland security secretary Kirsten Nielson on Capitol Hill today this is certainly something everybody been paying attention to here in Washington to get some tough questions about the policies at the border what's on tap at the White House today for the president who will see the president in till about 4 o'clock today he'll have an event on workforce training policies this is something that his daughter Ivanka Trump has been leading here at the White House it's an advisory committee that she's been a part of and it sounds like it's more of a roundtable type discussion it is her security clearance something that's coming under scrutiny as well there was a report last night we haven't confirmed anything that the president had intervened as well with her security clearance Thanks for the updates as always Karen Travers with us from the White House is time 519 other stories that we're keeping track of in New
