Democrats are planning to investigate President Donald Trump’s family businesses and subpoena acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to testify about Jeffrey Epstein if they win control of the House in November.

California Rep. Robert Garcia, who is in line to become the chairman of the House Oversight Committee under Democratic control, told NOTUS that Democrats are prepared to subpoena Blanche and other administration officials on “day one” — and that he expects some of their testimony to happen on camera.

“We’ve had zero hearings on Epstein,” Garcia said about the GOP-led investigation. “It’s a huge investigation the American public is interested in … there will definitely be public hearings.”
