House Judiciary investigators are asking a limited number of witnesses about communications with Middle Eastern powers and Russia during the campaign and transition periods.

The document requests could intersect with a January 2017 meeting in the Seychelles, which featured Erik Prince, George Nader, Russian Direct Investment Fund Chief Kirill Dmitriev, and a UAE crown prince.

House investigators are interested in the following witnesses and entities:

-Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince

-Trump campaign

-Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser

-Michael Flynn, former Trump campaign adviser and U.S. national security adviser
