Democrats plan sweeping probes into Trump's business dealings

Democrats have vowed to launch major investigations into President Donald Trump and his associates following their midterm election victories, citing voter concerns about corruption and self-enrichment at public expense. The party plans to use subpoena powers and expanded committee staff to probe Trump family business dealings and other matters. House Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, are preparing a vast oversight agenda targeting Trump's wealth, real estate projects, and cryptocurrency ventures, with impeachment not ruled out. Senate Democrats plan similar probes into ICE raids, the Epstein investigation, and government efficiency actions, aiming to link corruption to rising costs for Americans. The AP Voter Poll found about half of voters said government corruption was crucial to their vote, with most supporting Democrats. Party leaders acknowledge the challenge of balancing investigations with affordability concerns, as some lawmakers urge restraint to avoid appearing as a "vengeance tour."
