Democrats plan Trump investigations over impeachment if they win US House
Senior Democrats have discussed using hearings, subpoenas and document requests to obtain records from entities linked to Donald Trump's political and business orbit.
US House Democrats are preparing to investigate companies and financial firms linked to President Donald Trump, should they regain control of the House in November, according to four sources familiar with the plans. The strategy, rather than immediate impeachment, aims to build evidence of potential wrongdoing through hearings, subpoenas, and document requests.
Potential targets include Apple, Alphabet, Palantir, Blackstone, BlackRock, Elon Musk's companies like Tesla, and entities associated with Trump's financial ventures. Democrats believe this approach is more fruitful than confronting a White House they expect to resist oversight. The focus is on scrutinizing the administration's decision-making and examining whether Trump used his power to benefit himself, allies, or donors.
The letters sent to companies and contractors are part of the groundwork for potential investigations, signaling that records could be subpoenaed if Democrats win the House.
