House Democrats Ready Trump Probes Over Qatari Jet and Family Crypto as 2028 Fight Looms

Summary
Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin said House Democrats are already preparing a broad investigative campaign into Donald Trump, his family and his administration if the party retakes the chamber.
Top targets include Trump’s acceptance of a Qatari jet for use as Air Force One and his family’s lucrative cryptocurrency investments, which Raskin cast as possible bribery, kickback and financial-corruption schemes.
Raskin also said he would examine what he called fraudulent, vindictive prosecutions involving James Comey and Letitia James, while Garcia wants to revisit gaps in Republicans’ Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Impeachment is no longer off-limits for many Democrats, though leaders also see oversight as a more practical check after two failed Senate removal efforts and as a pillar of their 2028 accountability message.
The White House dismissed the plans, saying Trump would contrast his agenda with what it called radical Democrats, underscoring how any probes would quickly become part of the next election battle.
