Democrats plan probes of Musk, Miller, and corporations after midterm win
Democrats have vowed to launch congressional investigations into Elon Musk, White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, and certain corporations when they take control of Congress in January, following their sweeping midterm election victory. Representative Robert Garcia and Senator Elizabeth Warren, set to lead key committees, said probes will target Musk's role in federal worker firings and Miller's immigration policies. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries also indicated support for impeaching Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth over the unpopular Iran war. The Trump administration signaled readiness for conflict, with Attorney General Todd Blanche vowing to defend officials. A Reuters/Ipsos poll showed only 37% approval of Trump's immigration handling, which included fatal federal operations in Minnesota.
