House Democrats on Friday launched a probe into possible conflicts of interest following the U.S. military incursion into Venezuela last weekend, seeking to learn whether Trump administration officials or oil companies have or will benefit from the situation.
Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee, led by ranking member Robert Garcia, D-Calif., on Friday sent letters to the chief executives of four major oil companies — Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and Continental Resources — ahead of a meeting with oil executives at the White House that afternoon. Democrats requested the businesspeople provide information to help lawmakers determine “who stands to privately or personally benefit from President Trump’s actions and whether corrupt motives were a driving force in U.S. foreign policy decision.”
The letter comes amid mounting criticism and confusion on Capitol Hill — including from some Republicans — about how exactly Trump plans to rebuild Venezuela’s oil infrastructure and what companies will be investing in the effort. Trump has said the U.S. likely would be running Venezuela and extracting its oil for years, despite doubts from some executives about the feasibility of such a plan.
In a surprise move, the Senate advanced on Thursday a war powers resolution designed to limit U.S. military actions in Venezuela, with five Republicans supporting the measure. The Senate still has to pass the legislation, and it would then go to the House. Regardless of the measure’s fate, it represents significant pushback to Trump’s unilateral action in Venezuela, which was launched without informing lawmakers.

Send the probers to Minnesota.
Tell them it’s oil for California.
The business of America is business.
Howeever much one despises leftists, it isn’t enough.
House Democrats launch probe into Trump officials and oil companies?
So I guess Minnesota govt thieves are a “mere nothing” to suspicious Democrats.
When you touch the stove you will be burned. Biden will fry.
Of course they did.
Interestingly, they didn’t launch a probe into FJB with the conflict of interest that was the Secret Service investigating his son accidently dropping a dime bag of coke in the White House library . . .
Investigate these democrats ,LOL
So disgusting.
They had warrants on Maduro since 2020. The Democrats and their DEI led military could have ‘tried’ to capture him and free the country.
They did absolutely nothing. Now, that the right thing has been done with zero American causalities, they disgustingly suggest Trump did it for money. Money he doesn’t need.
They want a Congressional investigation, using Taxpayer dollars, to harass the good guys for success. Yet, not One single Democrat has asked to investigate the blue state frauds.
We are absolutely a divided America.
Just another magician’s trick of “look-over-here” (e.g., yet another bogus hearing that accomplishes nothing) while the known criminals (e.g., Somalis in MN) continue to rape and pillage the citizens. Anyone else getting tired of this Democrat Dog and Pony show?
Meanwhile Nancys ROI on her stock holdings during her time in Congress was 53000%…. Nothing to see
Preview of 2027. I hope trump voters will for once vote even with Trump not on the ballot.
Unfortunately just going with past experience.
Seeing what is going on in Minnesota, we will be in a hot civil war by this summer with while liberal women leading the way.
Democrat Politicians love the solar and wind power companies because these companies give the Democrats a lot of campaign money.
Democrat Politicians hate the oil companies because oil is cheaper energy than solar and wind.
Just another obvious attempt to change the discussion away from Democrat Corruption and Fraud in Welfare and elections. Keep the focus THERE.
Fail in the House as usual.
Talking about fraud.....have the Democrats even really looked into the Democrats stealing up to $18 Billion tax payer dollars in Minnesota yet?
MsNow huh?
That;s like slop from the sh*thouse.
