## Key points

- Democrats plan investigations after winning congressional control.
- Robert Garcia outlined several possible House Oversight probes.
- Pete Hegseth could face scrutiny and impeachment efforts.

## Summary

After projected midterm victories gave Democrats control of Congress, party lawmakers warned that they would use their new committee powers to investigate President Donald Trump’s administration. Their plans matter because Democrats, after two years in the minority, will be able to call hearings, seek documents and issue subpoenas when the new Congress convenes in January.

House Oversight Democrat Robert Garcia said his committee was preparing investigations into the Trump family’s business dealings, immigration enforcement, alleged corporate corruption and the handling of Jeffrey Epstein files. Other potential targets include administration officials and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who already faces impeachment efforts; committees can subpoena witnesses and records, and some committee chairs may be given authority to issue subpoenas themselves.
