Bernie Sanders warns Democrats not to spend all their time investigating Trump
Bernie Sanders says Democrats should investigate alleged corruption and unlawful conduct in President Donald Trump’s administration, but warns that investigations must not crowd out their work on affordability. He argues that voters expect practical changes in people’s lives, particularly for working-class families, after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress.
Sanders pointed to child poverty, low incomes among some seniors and concerns about artificial intelligence as issues demanding attention. Gas prices were reported at a national average of $4.02 a gallon, nearly $1 higher than a year earlier. Incoming House oversight leader Robert Garcia and other Democrats have signalled plans to use congressional investigations and subpoenas to scrutinise Trump and his allies.
In short
- Sanders backs accountability investigations, but urges Democrats to limit their focus.
- He says affordability and working-class families should remain priorities.
- Incoming Democratic leaders have signalled probes into Trump and his allies.
