BREAKING via @OConnellPostBiz @eliseviebeck @TracyJan: Trump’s company plans to expand check of employees’ legal status following report that it hired undocumented workers for years wapo.st/2FXfNgq?tid=ss…
The move is the first acknowledgment by the president’s private business that it has failed to fully check the work status of all its employees, despite Trump’s claims during the 2016 campaign that he used E-Verify across his properties.
Eric Trump acknowledged today that many Trump properties do not use E-Verify -- despite his father's claims in 2016 that “I’m using E-Verify on just about every job." 
And Eric Trump said the expansion of E-Verify to other Trump properties was delayed by the partial government shutdown -- which was triggered by his father’s demand for a border wall to keep out undocumented immigrants.

Meanwhile, congressional Democrats began circulating a letter seeking an FBI investigation into Trump Org's hiring practices.
“I believe there’s been violations of the law,” said House Natural Resources Committee Chairman @RepRaulGrijalva (D-Ariz.).
