Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, has asked FIFA president Gianni Infantino to testify and turn over records about FIFA's relationship with Trump.
Raskin is seeking communications between FIFA and the Trump administration, details of gifts or benefits provided to Trump or his associates, and records related to FIFA's move into Trump Tower, the FIFA Peace Prize awarded to Trump, and the World Cup ticketing controversy.
He also questioned the Justice Department's decision to drop parts of a long-running FIFA corruption case, suggesting FIFA may have sought favorable treatment.
While Democrats currently lack the power to compel Infantino's testimony, Raskin warned that a Democratic House majority after the midterm elections could lead to subpoenas and a broader investigation into FIFA's ties to the Trump administration.
