Democrats plan probes of Musk and Trump officials after midterm wins
Democrats in the US Congress are preparing investigations into Elon Musk and Trump administration officials following their midterm election victory. Congressman Robert Garcia and Senator Elizabeth Warren announced intensified oversight of the administration on November 8. The probes may target Musk's role in federal employee layoffs, immigration policies by White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, and major companies. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said the party will support an impeachment initiative against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the administration is prepared for investigations. Musk directed $474 million to 2026 election campaigns, about a quarter of Republican funds, though his preferred candidates largely lost.
