Democrats plan broad Trump family and allies investigation in 2027

Democrats say they plan to use their expected control of the House Oversight Committee in 2027 to investigate Donald Trump, his family, business associates and administration allies. Robert Garcia, expected to become the committee’s chair, is reported to have made alleged family corruption and corporate dealings early priorities.

Potential areas include Donald Trump Jr’s wedding, Jared Kushner’s activities, the Trump administration’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein files, and expanded scrutiny of the Department of Homeland Security, ICE and the Pentagon. The article also says Democrats’ November election gains are expected to give them greater oversight and negotiating power, while Republican Steve Scalise has warned party colleagues that investigations could be politically motivated.
