Trump team faces growing threat of investigations and criminal referrals
June 8, 2026 | Kevin Haggerty
The midterms aren’t the only election Democrats are reportedly looking beyond as lawmakers addressed their intent to weaponize the government against Trump officials.
“… we’re going to be very busy.”
Despite infrequent, half-hearted shows of tempering rhetoric, leftists have remained consistent in pursuing their agenda of opposition to President Donald Trump. Now, having gone after him relentlessly, including after his first administration, Democrats appear poised to campaign on similarly targeting officials from the second administration, even after the next presidential election.
“This is stiff competition to see who is the leading crook,” California Rep. Juan Vargas (D) contended to The Hill as senior staff writer Mike Lillis presented, “House Democrats want 2029 to be the year of reckoning for Trump administration officials.”
Just as they have used the courts to impede efforts at restoring national sovereignty and reducing waste, fraud, and abuse via the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), lawmakers expressed their intent to get the ball rolling after the midterms, should control of the House shift from Republicans to Democrats.
“Before we start calling something a crime or making use of these legal terms that actually have very important meanings, we need to investigate,” said California Rep. Jared Huffman (D). “We need to do what Congress has declined to do for the last 16 months.”
“We’re not going to wait for a new administration. We’re going to kick right into oversight and investigation mode. It’s urgent. But it’s a long list; we’re going to be very busy,” he added.
