Democrats in the U.S. Congress are working on their plans after the midterm elections

Democrats in the U.S. Congress are laying out plans for what they would do if they win a majority in the House of Representatives or the Senate in next week’s midterm elections. While success at the polls is not guaranteed, taking control of the House would give the party the ability to issue subpoenas and attract additional financial resources. These powers would provide the legal basis for the opposition to launch large-scale investigations starting early next year.

Postxronika.az reports, citing the BBC, that Democrats are considering reviewing the activities of top officials in the Trump administration and even those of the president himself. According to the information, party representatives have begun compiling a list of witnesses expected to be questioned and possible investigation topics. If they secure victory on November 3, the initial focus will be on the former head of state’s family business and financial dealings.

Winning a majority in Congress would sharply increase parliamentary oversight over the executive branch. The legislative body’s use of investigative tools could lay the groundwork for a new stage of political confrontation in the country’s domestic politics. The campaign to control taxpayers’ funds and fight corruption is emerging as a key card in the pre-election struggle.
