Law firms gear up for ‘entirely new era’ of investigations
Politico reports that likely targets of Democratic congressional investigations scrambled after the 2026 midterms as law firms issued advisories warning that early investigative steps will begin before the next Congress is sworn in in January 2027, with probes expected into President Trump's business interests, pardons process, the East Wing ballroom, his family's dealings, Elon Musk's government work, and the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Jill Holtzman Vogel calls election night the starting gun for an entirely new era of congressional investigations, Peter Roskam predicts the probes will face executive-privilege roadblocks, and incoming Oversight chair Robert Garcia warns targets to lawyer up.
