House Democrats say they are preparing broad investigations of the Trump administration if they win control of the House in November, with impeachment among the possible tools. Hakeem Jeffries and committee leaders outlined priorities ranging from Trump family business dealings to administration policies and operations.
Democrats say a House majority would give them more resources and authority to investigate the Trump administration, including the ability to subpoena witnesses. Jeffries said the party would hold people accountable for alleged corruption, while Jamie Raskin described the issues as extensive and called for attention to systemic corruption and possible legislative remedies.
Committee Democrats outlined potential inquiries into Trump family business dealings, ICE operations, the administration’s handling of the Epstein investigation, international dealings, Venezuela operations, and projects involving the White House and minerals. Jeffries said Democrats had not ruled out impeachment; the article reports that Rep. Thomas Massie has filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his Pentagon leadership and management of the Iran war.
