The Democratic Party in Congress, and particularly in the House of Representatives, has laid plans to investigate the Trump Presidency, with the belief that gaining, at the least a few seats, to become the majority in the upcoming 120th Congress (2027-2029), is highly likely.
So their agenda includes:
The Enrichment of the Trump Family in the past 19 months
The Massive Number of Clemencies, Pardons, and Financial Favors Given to Trump Supporters
The Massive Number of Construction Projects in Washington DC, including all of the changes made without approval of any legitimate organization
The Massive Abuses of Immigration Enforcement
The Massive Reshaping of Federal Goverment Agencies, and Mass Firings of Competent Government Workers Without Just Cause
Prosecution of Trump’s Political Enemies
Institutional Pressures Against Law Firms, Corporations, Universities
Foeign Policy Blunders That Have Undermined Relationships with Allies, along with Promotion of the Iran War
The Coverup of the Epstein Files
Key Democratic Congressmen who would lead investigations, as they are presently Ranking Members of crucial committees include:
Robert Garcia of California
Jamie Raskin of Maryland
Jared Huffman of California
Jim Himes of Connecticut
Gregory Meeks of New York
60 Minutes is airing right now an investigative report covering the “pardon economy” involving lobbyists and lawyers selling access to President Trump’s clemency decisions.
Correspondent Lesley Stahl and the 60 Minutes team used hidden cameras to capture lobbyists and pardon brokers, including Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl, wooing a fake prospective client.
The brokers claimed they could secure a presidential pardon for $300,000, predicting a turnaround as early as October.
While traditional pardons go through a strict Department of Justice screening process, critics and former officials note that the current administration often works around regular channels.
Lawmakers have previously raised questions regarding whether high-priced lobbying or donations influence clemency decisions, pointing to unrepentant conmen and political allies who have received pardons.
