Democrats in Congress set to check Trump's agenda with probes and veto fights

Democrats will control both chambers of Congress in January, setting up investigations into the Trump administration and limiting the president's legislative agenda. President Trump has signaled a willingness to work with Democrats while also threatening to use his veto power. Incoming House committee chairs plan to launch probes into the Trump family's business dealings, immigration enforcement, and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Democrats will also use the appropriations process to rein in executive actions, though they will need Republican support to pass major legislation due to the Senate filibuster. Democratic leaders have shown little appetite for impeaching Trump, focusing instead on oversight and policy battles. Trump's relationship with Republicans may also strain as lawmakers prioritize their own political futures, and Senate confirmation of his nominees will become more difficult.
