Democrats plan probes into Trump's corruption after winning Congress

ctvnews.ca —

Democrats won control of Congress in the midterm elections and are vowing to launch major investigations into President Donald Trump and his associates, citing corruption as a top voter concern. They plan to use subpoena powers to probe alleged self-enrichment by the president and his family. House Democrats are preparing a broad oversight agenda targeting Trump family business dealings, the Epstein investigation, and ICE operations, with some leaders not ruling out impeachment. Senate Democrats plan similar probes into real estate projects and cryptocurrency ventures, aiming to link corruption to affordability issues affecting Americans. The AP Voter Poll found about half of voters said government corruption was crucial to their vote, with most supporting Democrats. Democratic leaders face the challenge of balancing investigations with legislating on cost-of-living issues, while some lawmakers urge caution to avoid appearing as a "vengeance tour."
