US midterm elections 2026: Top Democrat tells Trump administration to 'lawyer up'

A senior Democrat has warned US President Donald Trump and his Republican allies to "lawyer up", vowing to investigate alleged corruption and the business dealings of the president's family following the party's midterm election victories . Speaking to Punchbowl News on Tuesday, Robert Garcia, who is expected to chair the powerful House Oversight Committee, said Democrats would use their congressional powers to scrutinise the Trump family's financial interests. The California Democrat said he would investigate "Trump crypto schemes" and how members of the president's family, including Jared Kushner, were "sitting on boards and getting contracts".
