Democrats are laying out potential investigations into President Donald Trump and his family if they reclaim the House majority in November.

Democrats have expressed concern over Trump’s relationships with foreign governments, such as the $400 million plane gifted by the Qatari government. Other investigations could include the administration’s handling of the release of the Epstein files, immigration enforcement tactics, and his family’s involvement in the cryptocurrency industry.

“The political and financial corruption driving the Trump presidency is a civic emergency,” House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told the Washington Examiner. “Congress has a responsibility to confront all this corruption directly — to expose it and take all steps necessary to crush it as quickly as possible.”

Though they haven’t yet won the majority, Raskin previewed a list of potential areas of inquiry if they were to flip the House.

“Democrats may not yet hold the gavels, but we are already pursuing a broad range of investigations using every tool available to us,” he said. “That work includes scrutiny of, and opposition to, the $1.8 billion convicted criminal slush fund and Super Pardon for the Trumps; the weaponization of the Department of Justice against chosen enemies in the nonprofit world; the comprehensive Epstein human trafficking cover-up; rampant violations of the foreign emoluments clause and legal conflicts of interest by the President, Jared Kushner and other senior officials; and the theft and waste of public resources by Trump and his cabinet of corruption.”
