House Democrats Prepare Trump Oversight Push, Including Possible Impeachment
Democrats say they will use subpoenas and hearings to probe Trump family business dealings, ICE operations and possible corruption if they win the House.
- House Democrats are preparing a vast oversight agenda targeting President Donald Trump and his administration if they win control in November, planning to use subpoena power to investigate what they characterize as widespread corruption and abuses of power.
- On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries cited 'out-of-control corruption,' stating Democrats aim to hold accountable those who have stolen from Americans, while investigations target Trump family wealth growth since January 2025 and shuttering of federal agencies.
- Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., told The Associated Press Democrats must 'zero in quickly on the forms of systemic corruption that have cost the public huge amounts of money,' while Rep. Jared Huffman is investigating Trump's 'vanity projects' including demolition of the White House's East wing.
- Democrats are likely to focus impeachment efforts on Cabinet members, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth already facing articles from a Republican over Pentagon leadership, though Jeffries said recently, 'We haven't ruled anything out, and we haven't ruled anything in.'
- A third impeachment of the president may lack political currency after Trump's two prior impeachments and Senate acquittals, while the White House is expected to play hardball with potential subpoena resistance as new reports reveal Russian oligarch funding for Trump family events.
