Democrats Plan Probes Into Musk and Miller After Midterm Losses

Democrats plan congressional probes into Elon Musk and Stephen Miller when they take control of Congress in January, according to Representative Robert Garcia, who is in line to chair the House Oversight Committee. The investigations will target Musk's role in federal worker firings and Miller's involvement in immigration policy. Garcia said committees across Congress have interest in speaking with Musk, and called Miller the architect of a "horrific, unjust" immigration policy. The crackdown has proven unpopular, with a Reuters/Ipsos poll showing only 37% approval of Trump's handling of immigration, down from 50% at the start of his term. Democrats also support impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his oversight of the Iran war, with Hakeem Jeffries saying he is a "hard yes" on the measure. Attorney General Todd Blanche signaled the administration is prepared to battle Democrats, saying "if you work in this administration, you have a lawyer. It's me."
