If the U.S. Democratic Party wins the November midterm elections, it is poised to launch congressional investigations covering a wide range of allegations surrounding President Donald Trump and his administration.

Democrats believe they can recapture control of not only the House of Representatives but also the Senate in this election.

In this scenario, they would take over the positions of House Speaker and committee chairmanships starting next January.

The Washington Post (WP) reported on the 12th, local time, that Democratic aides are preparing investigations targeting President Trump in line with this "majority scenario," and are also receiving outside advice for effective investigations.

Representative Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), who is likely to chair the House Oversight Committee if Democrats win the election, said, "There is so much corruption and fraudulent profiteering that the entire caucus of House Democrats will have to step up to properly investigate it."

At the center of the target is President Trump.

While some have mentioned pushing for impeachment, the practical probability of success is not high.

Therefore, the Democrats' strategy is to weaken him by digging into allegations of his wealth accumulation and corruption.

The House Oversight Committee under the Democrats has previously released data tracking profits made by the Trump family through cryptocurrency and overseas transactions.

It has been estimated that President Trump raked in 2.25 billion dollars—approximately 3 trillion won in Korean currency—from overseas sources during the first year of his second term.

The House Judiciary Committee plans to look into allegations that venture capital firms "1789 Capital" and "American Ventures," linked to President Trump's two sons (Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump), received preferential treatment in securing contracts with the Trump administration.

Also added to the investigation list are an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that reportedly shielded the Trump family and businesses from tax audits, the sale of "early access" rights to President Trump's social media platform Truth Social, and business dealings involving son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Democrats plan to investigate not only President Trump's family and businesses, but also allegations that his supporters secured various preferential treatments and business interests, as well as the circumstances under which they received pardons for their roles in the January 2021 Capitol riot.

Representative Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), a leading candidate to chair the House Natural Resources Committee, recently raised allegations that the Trump administration required a German energy company to pay a 1.2 billion dollar settlement in exchange for abandoning offshore wind leases, and demanded that the funds be reinvested in a Louisiana liquefied natural gas (LNG) project owned by a donor to President Trump.

Criticizing the move, Representative Huffman said, "Trump is using the settlement like a slush fund" and called it "a complete waste of taxpayers' money."

The House Foreign Affairs Committee will shine a light on allegations that Steve Witkoff and Kushner acted essentially as President Trump's "shadow diplomats," meddling in issues regarding Israel, Iran, and Ukraine while securing various business interests.

Democrats have pointed to a transaction just before President Trump's inauguration last year, in which UAE-linked investors purchased 500 million dollars worth of shares in a cryptocurrency firm run by President Trump's and Witkoff's sons, as a subject for investigation.

Representative Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), the ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, noted that private citizens Witkoff and Kushner, who have financial conflicts of interest, are on the front lines of diplomacy, stating, "It is all Witkoff and Kushner. Who else is there?"

Democrats are also gearing up for "retaliation against political opponents," targeting former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Democratic lawmakers who released a video last November informing service members that they can refuse unlawful orders.

In addition, President Trump's relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, along with the construction of a new White House ballroom, the Reflecting Pool project, and the takeover of the Kennedy Center, are expected to be investigated at the standing or special committee level.

Anticipating this wave of offensive attacks from Democrats targeting President Trump, the White House has used its legal counsel's office to brief political appointees in the administration on how to handle congressional investigations, according to WP.
