Democrats plan sweeping probes into Trump and administration corruption

theglobeandmail.com [$] —

Democrats, who won control of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, have vowed to launch major investigations into President Donald Trump and alleged corruption in his administration, prioritizing his family's business dealings and other probes. House Democrats are preparing a broad oversight agenda examining how Trump and his family have gained wealth, with Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries not ruling out a third impeachment attempt. Senate Democrats plan similar investigations, with targets including Trump's real estate projects, cryptocurrency ventures, ICE operations, and the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The AP Voter Poll found about half of voters said government corruption was "crucial" to their vote, with most supporting Democrats. Party leaders say they will tie corruption probes to affordability concerns, though some lawmakers urge restraint, warning against turning the effort into a "vengeance tour."
