Robert Garcia: Trump Family and Elon Musk Could Face Congressional Scrutiny

U.S. Representative Robert Garcia said the Trump family and Elon Musk could face congressional scrutiny after Democrats take control of Congress next January. According to Sina Finance, Garcia said Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner could be subpoenaed to testify, and called the family the most corrupt to enter the White House. Garcia said he was focused on a lavish wedding celebration Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev held in the Bahamas in May for Trump Jr. and his wife, Bettina. After Kremlev's funding became public, Trump said his son had repaid the money and defended the celebration, saying it was common for friends to pay for wedding festivities. Garcia also said he wanted to investigate potential conflicts of interest involving Kushner, who took part in negotiations with Russia, Ukraine and several Middle Eastern countries as an informal diplomat. Democrats have long expressed concern about overlaps between Kushner's business interests and diplomatic work; the White House has said his personal business activities are unrelated to his diplomatic duties. Garcia said Democrats also intended to investigate Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, focusing on the government efficiency task force he led, DOGE, which pushed for large-scale federal layoffs. Garcia characterized the Trump family's wealth as having increased by billions of dollars while ordinary Americans struggled to afford gasoline and groceries.
