US Democrats: Plan to Launch Investigations into Musk and Others

BlockBeats reports, November 9, according to Xinhua News Agency, US congressional Democrats stated on the 8th that after the Democratic Party takes over Congress next January, they will launch investigations into US billionaire Elon Musk, White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and certain companies.

Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia and Senator Elizabeth Warren made these remarks during a television interview that day. After the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives, Garcia is expected to serve as chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee. He said the investigations will focus on Musk's role in the dismissal of federal employees at the "Department of Government Efficiency," as well as Miller's role in the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies. Garcia called Miller the architect of "terrible, unjust" immigration policies, placing him at the core of major government policy decisions, and thus deserving oversight and investigation.

Warren also issued warnings to some companies but did not name specific firms. She said companies that profit by deceiving American families and investors "had better be prepared to face serious investigations." In response, US Attorney General Todd Blanche strongly countered that day, calling the Democrats' targeted threats "unacceptable" and stating he was ready to fight back.
