REPORT: Democrats Already Plotting Investigations of Companies, Colleges, and Law Firms for Working With Trump
Posted For: Rotorblade
Democrats in Congress are reportedly preparing to target businesses, universities, and law firms that collaborated with President Trump during his administration. Sources indicate that the plans are still in the early stages, with potential investigations contingent on Democrats gaining more influence after the 2026 midterm elections.
According to Axios, senators including Adam Schiff (D-CA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), all members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, have participated in initial discussions about how to use subpoena powers against private institutions that worked with the Trump administration.
Schiff previously led the first impeachment proceedings against President Trump over alleged connections with Russia in the 2016 election, claims that did not result in conviction. Some congressional Democrats believe the party may regain control of the House following the midterms, which would give them broader subpoena authority than the Senate.
The potential investigations could focus on a variety of areas, including donations tied to the East Wing renovation and agreements between the Trump administration and colleges or universities. While the White House has institutional resources to resist congressional inquiries, private companies, schools, and law firms would have fewer means to defend themselves.
Critics argue that this effort reflects Democrats’ continued focus on opposing President Trump rather than advancing new policies. Since the start of his second term, they contend, Democrats have relied heavily on protests and obstruction as their primary approach to governance.
