Democrats are preparing to investigate Elon Musk and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller when they take control of Congress in January. California Representative Robert Garcia, who is expected to lead the House Oversight Committee, said the investigations could examine Musk’s role in federal worker dismissals and Miller’s involvement in President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union, Garcia said lawmakers across Congress were interested in questioning Musk over his involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency. He also described Miller as a central figure in the administration’s immigration decisions, arguing that his influence warrants congressional scrutiny.
Meanwhile, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has backed efforts to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth over his handling of the Iran war. Attorney General Todd Blanche criticised Democratic threats to investigate administration officials, signalling that the Trump administration would resist such moves.
