Democrats Plan Probes of Musk, Miller After Midterm Win

handelsblatt.com (German) —

After their decisive victory in the US midterm elections, Democrats plan sweeping congressional investigations into President Donald Trump's inner circle, including Elon Musk and Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. The party will take control of Congress in January. Incoming House leader Hakeem Jeffries signaled support for impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Oversight Committee chair Robert Garcia announced probes into Musk's role in federal firings and Miller's involvement in immigration policy, which Garcia called "horrific and unjust." The immigration crackdown has become unpopular after two people were shot during federal operations. A Reuters/Ipsos poll from October shows only 37 percent of Americans approve of Trump's immigration policy, down from 50 percent when he took office.
