Democrats vow investigations into Trump's immigration and defense policies after midterm losses

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Democrats plan to investigate Elon Musk, Stephen Miller, and corporate America following a historic midterm election loss. The party's sweeping victory has led to calls for oversight of Trump's immigration crackdown and defense policies.

Rep. Robert Garcia and Sen. Elizabeth Warren have pledged to probe Musk's role in the Department of Government Efficiency's firing of federal workers and Miller's influence on Trump's hardline immigration policy. Miller, promoted to White House chief of staff, remains at the center of key policy decisions.

Democrats aim to hold Trump administration officials accountable, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, over the Iran war and its impact on gas prices. The Trump administration has vowed to resist congressional scrutiny, with Attorney General Todd Blanche warning against threats to target administration officials.
