Midterms: US Democrats target Musk and Trump confidants after election victory
The congressional majority wants to examine Trump's immigration policy and possible misconduct by companies. A vote of no confidence against Secretary of Defense Hegseth is supported.
US Democrats plan to launch congressional investigations into associates of President Donald Trump, including billionaire Elon Musk and new chief of staff Stephen Miller, after their midterm election victory. They will also consider impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with Hakeem Jeffries, the incoming House leader, pledging support for the move.
The probes will focus on Miller's role in Trump's immigration policy and Musk's involvement in the firing of federal employees. Elizabeth Warren, the future Senate Banking Committee chair, warned companies that profited from deceiving US families and investors to expect serious investigations. The Trump administration has responded, with Attorney General Todd Blanche saying it is prepared to defend its officials and allies.
