Republicans are planning on writing a report that will clear Trump. A real investigation of the Russia scandal will only happen on the House side if Democrats take back the body in November.
Ivanka Trump has her own ties to Russia, so it is surprising that it took so long for her name to come up. Everyone in Trump Tower had to have known about the meeting with Russians, and it may only be a matter of time until the Trump family dominos begin to fall.
