The president of FIFA may be summoned to Congress due to ties with Trump, the "Telegraph" writes.

The Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives has been investigating Gianni Infantino's financial relationship with the US President since July.

After the Democrats win the election, the department may be headed by Congressman Jamie Raskin, who started this investigation.

According to the "Telegraph" newspaper, the president of the soccer organization is suspected of personally assisting the cancellation of the disqualification of the American forward Polarin Balogun in the World Cup. He received a red card for a flagrant foul in the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. After Donald Trump's appeal to the head of FIFA, the disciplinary committee suspended the punishment. The footballer managed to play in the round of 16 against Belgium. The US president later confirmed that he had called Infantino with this request.
