House Democrats are preparing a sweeping oversight agenda targeting President Donald Trump, his family, and his administration if they win control of the House in November. The effort spans multiple committees and includes potential impeachment of Trump and Cabinet officials. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said the party will hold 'crooks' accountable.

Key Facts

House Democrats plan investigations of Trump, his family, and administration if they win the November elections.
Impeachment of Trump and Cabinet officials is not off the table.
Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said, 'We are going to hold the crooks accountable.'
Rep. Jamie Raskin called the issues 'gargantuan' and said Democrats need to focus on systemic corruption.
Trump was twice impeached by the House during his first term and acquitted by the Senate both times.

Oversight Agenda

House Democrats are preparing a vast oversight agenda spanning several committees. With majority power comes bigger budgets, staff, and the ability to investigate, subpoena, and potentially course-correct what Democrats call widespread corruption and abuses of power. A road map for the investigations has been set by almost daily letters lawmakers send to the administration and in amicus court filings. Democrats are asking about money-making by Trump and his family, whose wealth has grown dramatically since January 2025. They are also investigating potential civil rights violations of Americans killed protesting ICE operations and of detained immigrants deported to faraway countries.

Impeachment Prospects

Jeffries will almost certainly be under pressure from the far left to move more swiftly to articles of impeachment against Trump. Trump was the first president to be twice impeached by the House, and both times he was acquitted by the Senate. Impeaching the president a third time may not hold the currency it once did. Democrats will more likely focus their impeachment efforts on Cabinet members.
