Democrats ready to launch sweeping Trump-related investigations if they win House
House Democrats say they will initiate multiple probes into Donald Trump, his family and related agencies if they capture the chamber after the midterms.
Ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, House Democrats are outlining a slate of investigations aimed at President Donald Trump, his relatives and associated officials if they secure a majority. Rep. Jason Crow said the Department of Defense will be examined for nepotism and contracts linked to the Trump family. Rep. Robert Garcia, set to chair the Oversight Committee, listed inquiries into Trump-family corruption, the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, and alleged misconduct at ICE and DHS.
Judiciary Chairman Jamie Raskin has already sought information on Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr. and Kash Patel, characterizing the administration as a "money-making enterprise." While impeachment remains a possible option, the leadership emphasized a broader investigative agenda to uncover wrongdoing and pursue legislative remedies. Republicans warned the Democrats would move swiftly on such actions.
Why it matters
The planned investigations could reshape oversight of the executive branch and influence the political climate after the midterms.
