Democrats prepare four investigations into Trump
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on BBC
US Democrats are preparing investigations targeting Donald Trump and senior officials in his administration after their victory in the midterm elections. Their majority in Congress would give them the power to compel testimony and the production of documents, according to BBC Africa, which cites sources close to the discussions.
Control of both chambers of the US Congress would give Democrats the power to issue subpoenas and unlock additional funds to launch investigations from the beginning of 2027, the BBC reports. Before the 3 November midterm elections, their teams had begun drawing up a list of potential targets and witnesses, according to sources close to the discussions cited by the BBC.
Democrats were considering examining links between the government of Donald Trump and his family’s business activities, including cryptocurrency companies, as well as his international activities. Suhas Subramanyam, a Democratic representative from Virginia on the House Oversight Committee, told the BBC that these investigations would notably seek to verify the use of taxpayers' money and possible conflicts linked to these business interests.
