House Democrats plan to investigate companies and financial firms affiliated with President Donald Trump if the party retakes the lower chamber in the 2026 midterm elections, rather than pursuing impeachment immediately.
The plan reflects the fear that attempting to impeach the president would allow him to cast himself as a victim of partisanship, as well as the belief that the White House would resist oversight. Senior Democrats and committee aides have discussed using congressional investigative powers, such as issuing subpoenas and holding public hearings, to seek evidence of wrongdoing by the Trump administration, according to four people familiar with the discussions who spoke to Reuters.
