Democrats plan Trump investigations over impeachment if they win House
Some senior Democrats have discussed using hearings, subpoenas and document requests to obtain records from entities tied to Trump's political and business orbit, the sources said.
U.S. House Democrats are developing a strategy to investigate companies and financial firms linked to President Donald Trump, rather than attempting to impeach him immediately, if they regain control of the House, according to four sources familiar with the discussions. The plan involves using hearings, subpoenas, and document requests to obtain records from entities connected to Trump's political and business network, the sources said.
Democrats believe that targeting private companies and financial players may yield more fruitful results than confronting a White House they anticipate will resist oversight, the sources added.
