Democrats Plan Investigations Into Trump Administration and Corporate Power

Democrats plan to use their incoming House majority to launch wide-ranging investigations into the Trump administration, focusing on alleged corruption and corporate monopolies, while linking these probes to their affordability agenda. Rep. Robert Garcia, likely to chair the House Oversight Committee, cited probes into the Trump family's finances, crypto ventures, Jared Kushner's Saudi investments, and Epstein files. Rep. Jamie Raskin, expected to lead Judiciary, highlighted Trump's foreign government income, with leaders vowing to serve as a check on the executive branch. Democrats may target private companies for records if agencies resist, and Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed plans to examine corporate power. House Speaker-designate Hakeem Jeffries denied impeachment is on the agenda, though some members may push for it, balancing investigations with legislative priorities.
