Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

U.S. Democrats, after winning control of Congress in the midterm elections, plan to issue subpoenas to figures in Trump's business circle and to executives at major technology companies when the new Congress takes office. No subpoenas have actually been issued yet; this remains a Democratic plan. Senator Ed Markey said a large number of subpoenas would be sent. House Oversight Committee Chairman Robert Garcia is expected to investigate the Trump family, corporate corruption, and related topics. Executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and NVIDIA may be subpoenaed, and Trump's cryptocurrency business is also set for scrutiny.
