Democrats plan investigations into Musk and Miller after taking Congress

Democratic lawmakers announced plans to launch congressional investigations into Trump allies Elon Musk and Stephen Miller after Democrats take control of Congress in January. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries also indicated support for an impeachment motion against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Representative Robert Garcia said probes will examine Musk's role in federal employment terminations through the Department of Government Efficiency and Miller's involvement in immigration enforcement policies. Senator Elizabeth Warren warned corporations engaging in deceptive practices to prepare for rigorous investigations. Attorney General Todd Blanche responded that the Trump administration is prepared to vigorously defend executive officials against congressional inquiries. The investigations follow the unpopular war with Iran, which has contributed to rising gas prices.
