Sources say House Democrats are preparing, if they retake the House, to pursue
broad investigations targeting Trump’s business and financial network rather
than immediate impeachment. Senior House Democrats and committee staff have
discussed using hearings, subpoenas and document requests to obtain records from
entities tied to Trump’s political and commercial circle. Planners expect
probing private companies and external financial actors will be more effective
than directly confronting a White House likely to resist oversight. Democrats
envision deploying House investigative powers after the mid-November election to
review government decision-making and examine whether Trump used office to
benefit himself, allies or donors.
