Family wealth, Epstein, ‘vanity projects’: How Democrats plan to investigate Trump after midterms

Democrats are preparing investigations into President Donald Trump’s administration and business dealings if they gain control of either chamber of Congress in the midterm elections. They say a majority would give them committee leadership, more staff and budgets, and subpoena powers to scrutinise alleged conflicts of interest and abuses of power.

House Oversight Committee hopeful Robert Garcia has identified the Trump family’s business activities as a priority, including Jared Kushner’s foreign policy role alongside his private equity work and the family’s cryptocurrency investments. Democrats also want to examine whether the Justice Department withheld or improperly redacted records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act; the article says their plans aim to avoid the impeachment deadlock of Trump’s first term.
