Democrats appear to be getting a jump start on their promises to launch multiple investigations into President Trump and his administration.

The Hill reports Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings on Tuesday issued 51 letters to the heads of various government agencies, the White House and Trump Organization officials seeking documents on a series of congressional investigations.

Cummings, who is expected to chair the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee made clear he intends to further investigate a host of issues including the response to Hurricane Maria, family separation at the border, and payments to the Trump Organization from foreign governments.

Democrats officially take the House majority in January.
