Republicans decry Democratic probe plans as 'witch hunt' after midterm win

gordonua.com (Russian) —

Democrats, after winning the US midterm elections, have pledged to investigate potential corruption in Donald Trump's circle, prompting Republicans to decry the plans as a "witch hunt." Reuters reported that Elon Musk and incoming White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller are likely targets of Congressional investigations when Democrats take control of both chambers in January. Democrats are also considering impeaching several Trump administration officials, including Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., and Attorney General Todd Blanche. Some Democrats fear the probes will distract from cost-of-living issues, while Trump has ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats. Blanche claimed there "may be" grounds for criminal investigations into some Democrats, though some party members prefer focusing on campaign promises.
