Democrats Plan to Ramp up Investigations Into Trump Family, White House Ballroom and Epstein if They Win the House
House Democrats are preparing to wield power they do not yet have, mapping out an accountability agenda for next year that would subject President Donald Trump and his administration to "sweeping investigations of Trump," the Washington Post reports.
Rep. Robert Garcia stated that "There's so much corruption and grift" within the administration, noting he would likely lead the Oversight Committee in a Democratic-held House.
Garcia is overseeing a tracker of Trump family profits estimated at $2.25 billion from foreign payments, while Rep. Jared Huffman targets "mining and energy deals that have benefited Trump's supporters," including a $1.2 billion settlement to a German firm.
Investigations will also probe the pardon of nursing home executive Joseph Schwartz, who spent nearly $1 million lobbying, and the Epstein files alongside Trump's prosecutions of political enemies including New York Attorney General Letitia James and Comey.
Democrats are already "laying the groundwork" for these investigations, aiming to pull the administration and family into a harsh spotlight next year, as reported by the Post.
