Sources: If the Democrats win the House, they plan to investigate Trump instead of impeach

On 8 August, four informed sources revealed that the Democrats of the United States House of Representatives were preparing for a possible return to power, and that they were developing an extensive investigative strategy aimed at targeting businesses and financial institutions around Trump, rather than immediately attempting to impeach him. According to the source, senior Democrats and committee assistants in the House of Representatives have discussed requests for access to records from entities associated with the political and business circles of Trump through hearings, summonses and documents. They believed that the investigation of private companies and external financial actors would be more effective than direct confrontation with the White House, which might resist surveillance. Democrats involved in the planning envisaged using the investigative powers of the House of Representatives to review the Government ' s decision-making process and to investigate whether Trump was using its mandate to benefit himself, allies or donors after the mid-November elections.
