Who is the hunter and who the hunted after the recent midterm elections? Meanwhile Trump seeks to end the war with Iran before the Democrats do it their way.

Congress is preparing aggressive investigations into President Trump and his administration following the recent midterm elections. This includes potential criminal investigations as Democrats assert their oversight authority.

Rep. Robert Garcia, who is poised to chair the powerful House Oversight Committee in the next Congress, is preparing investigations into what he calls the “Trump crime family.” He said Democrats are not going to be intimidated.

“The days of us not fighting back are over,” said Garcia, D-Calif.

The early rhetoric sets up a showdown ahead that will likely define Trump’s remaining two years in office and test the power of Congress to put a check on the White House. About 7 in 10 voters nationally say Congress is not doing enough to provide checks and balances on the presidency, according to The AP Voter Poll, a survey of more than 100,000 midterm voters.

Democrats have made clear that impeachment is an option.

If there are people who have been “shortchanging the American people, screwing over the American people, or stealing from the American people, then they need to be held accountable in a manner consistent with Congress’ role, constitutionally,” said Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York.”

Hakeem Jeffries is an American politician who has served as the U.S. representative for New York’s 8th congressional district since 2013. He is a Democrat and has served as House Democratic Caucus leader and House minority leader since 2023.
