## Key points

- Democrats plan to investigate Trump’s reported use of Grok.
- The inquiry concerns AI advice before Maduro’s capture.
- Lawmakers cite constitutional and national security questions.

## Summary

House Democrats are preparing an investigation into Donald Trump’s reported use of Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot while considering the operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. They say the episode raises questions about presidential decision-making, Congress’s authority over war and the national security risks of relying on corporate AI tools.

According to people familiar with the plans, Trump questioned Grok in the Oval Office in December 2025, including about how Venezuelans might respond to Maduro’s removal; US forces captured Maduro and his wife in early January. Representatives Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia had previously asked Trump to preserve prompts and responses from Grok, ChatGPT and Claude relating to his official duties. The article says Democrats’ election gains would give them greater investigative and subpoena powers, while Venezuela’s interior minister put the raid’s death toll above 100.
