Democrats Reportedly Plan Investigations Into Trump Family Business Dealings If They Retake House
According to media reports cited by TASS, Democratic lawmakers are preparing potential probes into President Trump's family financial activities, including estimates that he earned $2.25 billion from foreign deals and cryptocurrency in the first year of his second term.
Democratic lawmakers are reportedly preparing to launch investigations into the business dealings of US President Donald Trump and his family should the party regain control of the House of Representatives, according to media reports cited by Russian state news agency TASS.
TASS reported that according to Democratic estimates, Trump earned $2.25 billion from foreign deals and cryptocurrency during the first year of his second term in office.
The report did not specify which media outlets originated the claims, nor did it provide additional details on the scope, timeline, or specific targets of the planned investigations.
TASS did not name the Democratic lawmakers or officials behind the estimates, and the figures could not be independently verified.
Control of the House of Representatives remains a key factor in determining the ability of either party to launch formal congressional investigations, as committee chairmanships and subpoena power are typically held by the majority party.
Neither the White House nor representatives for the Trump family have publicly responded to the reported plans, according to available information.
