  "account": "In the aftermath of the US midterm elections, Democrats are planning extensive parliamentary investigations into the role of President Donald Trump's associates, according to the source <source c825da18-726>. The focus is on technology billionaire Elon Musk, new White House staff chief Stephen Miller, and several major corporations. Representative Hakeem Jeffries, who will become Speaker of the House, has indicated support for an impeachment process against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Democrats will take control of Congress in January.\n\nThe future Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Robert Garcia, announced that the role of Musk in the dismissal of federal employees by the so-called Government Efficiency Agency last year will be scrutinized. Miller's involvement in Trump's harsh immigration policy will also be investigated. Garcia described Miller as the architect of \"a horrendous, unjust\" immigration policy, which is becoming increasingly unpopular among the population after two people were shot by federal agents. A Reuters and Ipsos survey from October shows that only 37 percent of US citizens now support Trump's immigration policy, compared to 50 percent at his inauguration.",
