Democrats line up Trump probes after winning control of Congress
Why it matters: New subpoena power could widen scrutiny of Trump family business, ICE operations, Epstein handling and crypto ties.
Democrats are preparing sweeping congressional investigations into President Donald Trump and his orbit after winning control of Congress in the midterm elections. Party leaders in the House and Senate plan to use subpoena authority, expanded staff and committee oversight powers to examine what they describe as self-enrichment and public corruption tied to Trump’s second term. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has not ruled out another impeachment effort. Potential targets include Trump family business dealings, Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, construction projects linked to the White House and Trump’s crypto dealings with Steve Witkoff.
