Democrats vow sweeping probes into Trump's business dealings after winning Congress

bostonherald.com —

Democrats, after winning control of Congress in the midterm elections, have vowed to launch major investigations into President Donald Trump and his associates, citing voter concerns about corruption as a top priority. Senior Democrats in both chambers plan to use subpoena powers and expanded staff to probe alleged self-enrichment by Trump and his family, with House Democrats preparing a broad oversight agenda. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has not ruled out a third impeachment attempt, while Senate Democrats plan similar inquiries into Trump's business dealings and crypto ventures. The investigations will target areas including Trump family business deals, ICE raids, the Epstein case, and construction projects. About 3 in 10 voters said "the state of democracy" was the top issue, with most supporting Democrats, though Democrats face the challenge of balancing corruption probes with addressing cost-of-living concerns.
