Democrats have articulated their investigative priorities should they gain control of Congress in the 2026 midterms. Key areas of focus include the Trump family's business dealings, the IRS settlement involving Trump, and corporate practices related to cryptocurrency and betting markets. Notably, officials like Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia have emphasized the need for transparency regarding Trump's financial ties and potential conflicts of interest.
The ability to subpoena documents and testimony would significantly enhance the Democrats' oversight capabilities. This shift could lead to increased scrutiny of past actions by Trump and his associates, as well as broader implications for corporate governance and accountability in the financial sector.
