Democrats Plan Investigations Into Musk and Miller After Midterm Win

Democratic lawmakers announced on Sunday that Elon Musk and Stephen Miller will likely face congressional investigations after Democrats assume control of Congress in January. Representative Robert Garcia of California said probes will focus on Musk's role in federal employee terminations through the Department of Government Efficiency last year.

Garcia, expected to lead the House Oversight Committee, also cited Miller's involvement in Trump's strict immigration enforcement. He described Miller as the architect of what he called a horrific and unjust immigration policy.

“If you've been making your profits by cheating American families and scamming your investors, you'd better get ready for some investigations, serious ones.”

Trump appointed Miller as White House chief of staff on Friday. Garcia stated that Miller sits at the center of major administration policy decisions and deserves oversight and investigation.

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts warned corporate leaders to prepare for congressional scrutiny. She said those who profited by cheating American families or scamming investors should expect serious investigations.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries signaled that party members intend to support an impeachment effort against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Voters delivered a decisive setback to Republicans in Tuesday's midterm elections.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll from October found only 37 percent approved of Trump's handling of immigration, down from 50 percent when he took office. The Trump administration is expected to maintain its forceful approach to border security despite the election results.
