Representative Robert Garcia, the incoming top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, warned the Trump family to "lawyer up" as his party prepares to take the House majority in January. Garcia pledged broad investigations into President Trump, his family and his administration once Democrats wield committee gavels. The shift in control gives Democrats subpoena power and a platform to scrutinize executive-branch conduct and potential conflicts of interest. The remarks signal that oversight, rather than legislation, will be a central Democratic priority in the new Congress. What to watch next is which targets Garcia prioritizes and how the White House responds to formal document requests and subpoenas.
