Nach Wahlsieg: Wichtiger Demokrat erwartet Untersuchung von Trump-Familie

After their victory in the congressional elections, US Democrats are preparing for impeachment procedures against ministers and corruption investigations against family members of President Donald Trump. Representative Robert Garcia, who is expected to take over the chairmanship of the key oversight committee in the House of Representatives in January, indicated that an interrogation of President Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., and his stepson Jared Kushner is on the cards.

"Absolutely," Garcia told CNN when asked if such investigations would be carried out. Meanwhile, a push for an impeachment procedure against Defense Minister Pete Hegseth gained support from Hakeem Jeffries, the current Democratic party's minority leader in the House of Representatives. He is expected to become the speaker of the House of Representatives in January.

Jeffries is likely to give a "clear yes" to this, according to ABC. The "so-called Defense Minister" has abused his powers and undermined national security. "Pete Hegseth must go," Jeffries summed up. Overcoming obstacles for successful impeachment The Republican Thomas Massie wants to submit another motion for an impeachment of Hegseth.

Even if the House of Representatives decides to impeach the Defense Minister with the votes of Democrats and some other Republicans, he would not be removed from his position, as a two-thirds majority in the Senate would be required. Currently, Republican Republicans hold a majority of 53 out of 100 seats in the Senate. If the Democrats take control of the Senate in January with at least 54 votes, they would still be dependent on Republican votes for a successful impeachment.

Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders expressed openness to an impeachment procedure against Health Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is primarily criticized for being a vaccine skeptic. Sanders called Kennedy "the most dangerous Health Minister" the USA has ever had. The country is currently dealing with a high number of measles infections.

Justice Minister mentioned threats Garcia immediately created a stir after the election victory, saying he should get lawyers. Now he referred to the situation after Trump's son Don Jr. received "hundred thousands" of dollars from a Russian oligarch for President Donald Trump's son's wedding. That the Russian entrepreneur had paid for celebrations at the wedding of the President's son's Bahamas was known through media reports.

President Trump subsequently stated that Don Jr. had returned the money. The White House always denies that Trump or his family have enriched themselves in the vicinity of the presidency. In the meantime, Trump accused Democrats of trying to intimidate Republican and their donors with the threat of investigations. He pointed to Justice Minister Todd Blanche, saying that a possible move by his authority depends on individual statements.

The Congress has oversight authority, but "they must not roam and threaten government members and companies," Garcia said again. Democrats would not be intimidated by judicial investigations.
