Dems Plan Sweeping Probes Of Trump Crime Family

The Washington Post reports:

The Washington Post spoke to a dozen Democratic members and staffers poised to run committees should the party retake the House. They said they are preparing sweeping investigations of Trump’s growing wealth in office, his remaking of the federal government and his pursuit of his political enemies. In recent weeks, staffers have connected with outside groups for guidance on how to conduct effective investigations.

“There’s so much corruption and grift that it’s going to take the entire House on the Democratic side to do investigations appropriately,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-California), who would probably lead investigations as chair the Oversight Committee in a Democratic-held House, said in an interview. “We are all talking.” Garcia’s committee launched a running tracker of the Trump family’s profits from cryptocurrency and foreign deals, calculating that Trump pocketed $2.25 billion from foreign payments in the first year of his second term.

Meanwhile, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland), who would play a key investigatory role as head of the Judiciary Committee for a Democratic majority, has sought more information about investments by 1789 Capital and American Ventures, venture capital firms linked to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Raskin’s investigation would probe companies the Trump sons invested in that got government contracts or favorable policies from the administration.

Other Democratic targets include Trump’s settlement with the IRS shielding his family and businesses from future audits; his social media platform, Truth Social, selling fast access to his posts; and his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s business dealings.
