Democrats to probe lucrative Trump family business deals if they win midterms
What happened
If Democrats win control of the House or Senate, they may use their subpoena power and investigation funding to target corporations and individuals involved in business deals with the Trump family, including those related to crypto, drones, and artificial intelligence. Companies with ties to the Trumps are preparing for potential investigations by hiring lawyers and crisis communications firms. Specific targets include Trump-linked crypto firms and Donald Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm, 1789 C
Why it matters
The investigations could place the Trump family business empire under scrutiny, potentially affecting their wealth and influence. The probes may be triggered by deals made by the Trump family during President Trump's term, including a $620 million Pentagon loan to a rare-earth startup with ties to 1789 Capital. The investigations could also set a precedent for future oversight of government officials' business dealings.
