Democrats Plan Probes of Musk, Miller After Midterm Win

After their decisive victory in the US midterm elections, Democrats plan broad congressional investigations into President Donald Trump's inner circle, including Elon Musk and Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. They also signaled support for impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Incoming House Oversight Committee Chairman Robert Garcia announced on CNN that Musk's role in firing federal employees via the government efficiency agency last year will be scrutinized. Miller's involvement in Trump's hardline immigration policies will also be investigated, with Garcia calling him the architect of "horrible, unjust" policies. The immigration crackdown has become increasingly unpopular after two people were fatally shot during federal operations. A Reuters/Ipsos poll from October shows only 37 percent of Americans now support Trump's immigration policy, down from 50 percent when he took office.
