Democrats are already preparing Trump investigations if they retake the House

They may not have the gavels yet, but House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a number of investigations into President Donald Trump should they win control of Congress in November.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif. — who’s set to chair the House Oversight Committee in a Democratic majority — told MS NOW that his team is “already preparing and gearing up.” “We’ve got a team on Epstein, we have a team on [Trump] family corruption, we have a team on DHS and ICE,” Garcia said. “Those teams are actively working on preparation, letters, research.”

The House Judiciary Committee is the other panel set to play an outsized role in accountability efforts. Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland is expected to serve as chairman. Raskin told MS NOW that “the political and financial corruption at the heart of the Trump presidency” amounts to “a civic emergency.”. “We need to go directly after that corruption, to expose it, and to do whatever we can to stop it as quickly as possible,” Raskin said.

Over the past several months, Democrats on both committees have announced investigations or requested documents on a variety of matters — offering a glimpse of what their likely targets will be in the House majority. So far, those targets have fallen into a few categories: alleged self-enrichment by the Trump family, alleged retaliatory prosecutions by the Department of Justice, the issues and delays related to the rollout of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files, and accusations of private corporations kowtowing to the administration.

We will need to convince people that we are going to make a difference in their lives.
