Tech megabillionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's newly appointed White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, and some large companies will likely be targets ‌of congressional probes when Democrats take control of Congress in January, senior lawmakers said on Sunday.

In television appearances, US Representative Robert Garcia of California and US Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, set to lead the House Oversight and Senate Banking committees, vowed aggressive oversight after their party's sweeping midterm election victory.

Meanwhile, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries indicated he and his fellow Democrats would back an impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Democrats eye Musk, Miller probes after midterm rout

House Democrats say probes will examine Elon Musk’s role in federal worker firings and Stephen Miller’s role in immigration enforcement.

 
  • On Sunday, Democrats announced plans to probe tech megabillionaire Elon Musk and White House chief of staff Stephen Miller when they take control of Congress in January, intending to use investigative committees and subpoenas.
  • California Representative Robert Garcia, who will chair the House Oversight Committee next year, said investigations will focus on Musk's involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency's firing of federal workers and Miller's hardline immigration crackdown.
  • A Reuters and Ipsos poll in October found only 37 per cent approved of President Donald Trump's immigration handling, down from 50 per cent when he took office; operations in Minnesota saw federal agents fatally shoot two people.
  • Attorney General Todd Blanche signaled on Sunday the Trump administration is prepared to battle congressional oversight, calling Democratic threats "not something we can tolerate in this country." Blanche said the administration will defend its officials.
  • Incoming House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats would support impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing his oversight of the unpopular Iran war launched by Trump in February. Representative Thomas Massie said he will reintroduce impeachment articles soon.

What makes you think so? Miller has been there in the WH all along, and didn’t see the tsunami coming.

You know he didn’t see it how? Because you were there???

Stephen Miller was a Duke student and one of the few outspoken against the persecution of the Duke lacrosse players in 2006...

He took all the bullets and arrows from the media that was out to lynch the innocent men- and he made the media look like fools...he takes no prisoners and will destroy them...

I pray they include Thune. He’s a big part of the reason the Plunder Party is back in power. He desires the torment they can inflict.

Since you were apparently in the WH for a long time and have firsthand knowledge, tell us more. Did Miller say he didn’t know what was coming to you personally? /s

This reminds me of prison riot movies and TV episodes where the bloodthirsty sociopaths capture guards and take prisoners hostage to make arrogant demands before killing them all.

The Dems and Socialists are taking over the USA.

May God help us.

Well, who would have guessed that? They don’t plan to govern because they have no policies the citizens want. And if they do, they will FORCE Them ON YOU like that tyrant Biden did over some virus. So, they are going to waste out tax dollars making other lives miserable. How anyone can support that hateful vengeful party is beyond me. If you voted Democrat, you should hang your heads in shame. so, enjoy the suck coming your way.

Why rats would do that? Thune stopped the safe act, making the steal much easier. Rats love Republicans like Thune.

The next two years will be Impeach, Impeach, Impeach.
Why didn't the Republicans impeach at least one of the many dirty rotten scoundrels from the blue side?

I know they won’t, but I can dream can’t I?

I would even settle for them excluding him from a Capitol Hill cocktail party. Which won’t happen either.
