Hakeem Jeffries does not deny that Democrats have Elon Musk in their sights as they continue to consider the option of impeaching Trump
The presumed new speaker of the House of Representatives noted that Reps. Robert García and Jamie Raskin "are going to lead our oversight efforts" and is leaving the initiative on this matter to them.
Elon Musk, during an event
While they continue to weigh the pros and cons of a possible third impeachment of Donald Trump, Democrats continue to target the president's associates ahead of January, when they will begin to wield their powerful majority in both chambers of Congress.
Although Elon Musk's name had been circulating for some time, and the entrepreneur himself warned Democrats that he would take his own measures if they came after him, Hakeem Jeffries acknowledged that his party has the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX in its crosshairs.
"We're going to follow the facts. We're going to apply the law"
When asked whether the new majority intended to launch an investigation into Musk, Jeffries replied, "we will be guided by the facts. We're going to follow the facts. We're going to apply the law. We're going to be guided by the Constitution. We will abide by the Constitution," without denying that Musk is their top priority.
The Democratic leader then stated that "Jamie Raskin and Robert García are going to lead our oversight efforts, and I defer to them at the moment."

Trump calls Democrats ‘extortionists,’ says DOJ should investigate their impeachment threats

"DOGE was a catastrophe for America ... and at least one committee ... will investigate it"
A very revealing statement, given that Raskin himself has already made it clear that he would seek to subject the DOGE's work to congressional scrutiny, and even told Fox News that he believes launching an investigation is a certainty under the new administration, although they have not yet devised a plan to carry it out.
"I had no specific plan. Look … DOGE was a catastrophe for America, and at least one committee, I feel pretty certain, will investigate it. It needs to investigate it."

Moreover, the representative expressed confidence that the Democrats "They’re going to go after everyone in the cabinet. We’ve already seen that with Secretary of War Hegseth. ... They’re going to go after people in the private sector, which I think is ridiculous. They’ve already sent hundreds of letters out to people in the government and outside the government."
Furthermore, Jordan noted that "I think they’re going to go after whoever they think our nominee is going to be. Will they go after Vice President Vance? Will they go after Secretary Rubio, Governor DeSantis, Governor Youngkin, ... whoever they think might be our nominee, I think you’ll see them target them because for the Democrats, it’s all about politics and going after their political opponents."
