Democrats on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees are actively recruiting lawyers to flesh out their teams in advance of the myriad of investigations they intend to launch into President Donald Trump, his family, his actions in office and his businesses.

According to a Friday CNN report, the Judiciary posting calls for attorneys with expertise in “criminal law, immigration law, constitutional law, intellectual property law, commercial and administrative law (including antitrust and bankruptcy), or oversight work.”

House Democrats are reportedly expected to double their number of staffers to prepare for the onslaught.
