FIFA chief Gianni Infantino could face congressional subpoenas within weeks as Democrats prepare to take control of key House committees following their midterm election victories, a report says.

The Telegraph reported on Tuesday, citing anonymous FIFA sources, that the subpoenas could follow Democrats’ takeover of the US House of Representatives in January.

The subpoenas could cover various issues centered on Infantino’s controversial relationship with US President Donald Trump, the report said, adding that the FIFA chief may be forced to hand over sensitive documents to the House Judiciary Committee as part of the investigation.

These issues include Infantino’s efforts to secure a work permit through the Trump administration for an immigrant maid who worked at his luxury Miami home but was on FIFA Americas’ payroll.

Another major issue is Infantino’s attempt to sell World Cup shares to a company owned by the brother of Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, a move announced after the World Cup in mid-summer but swiftly suspended after it nearly cost Infantino his position as FIFA president.

Infantino’s close ties with Trump were a major focus in the lead-up to this summer’s World Cup, particularly after he awarded the US president FIFA’s inaugural Peace Prize.

The report indicated that Jamie Raskin, a senior Democratic member of the Judiciary Committee who is expected to take charge of the panel in January, “is actively looking” into controversies surrounding Infantino’s ties to Trump and his family.

Raskin would have the power, as committee chairman, to compel Infantino to hand over key documents, including records of FIFA’s contacts with Trump, his administration and the Trump Organization, the family business.

In September, committee members accused Infantino of a “woefully inadequate” level of cooperation.

A tougher congressional investigation into Infantino’s links to Trump could undermine the FIFA chief’s campaign to remain in office after an election in March.

Congressional sources told The Telegraph that “all investigative options are very much on the table” regarding any issue surrounding Infantino that has directly or indirectly affected the American people or involved taxpayer dollars.

“We continue to have serious questions about FIFA’s practices and payments around the World Cup, and have not received sufficient information from them,” the sources said.
