House Democrats are mapping out an oversight offensive against President Donald Trump if they regain the majority in the November elections.

According to sources cited by Reuters, impeachment would not be the first move. The strategy would be to start with companies, contractors, banks and other actors linked to the president to gather documents and evidence.

The bet has a political reason. During Trump's first term, he was impeached twice by the House and was acquitted by the Senate both times. Now, Democratic leaders and advisers believe that immediately attacking the White House could end up benefiting the president. “We are not here to remove Trump,” a senior Democratic advisor told the aforementioned outlet. “The goal is to gather evidence through investigations that will hold Trump accountable.”

Companies and contracts, under the magnifying glass

If Democrats take control of the House, they would have the ability to issue subpoenas, demand documents, call witnesses and hold public hearings. According to Reuters, they have already begun sending letters to companies and organizations that could be investigated.

Among the issues mentioned are contracts from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), agreements with private companies, donations, the financing of the ballroom that Trump plans to build in the White House and financial ties related to his family. Firms such as Apple, Alphabet, Palantir, Blackstone, BlackRock and Elon Musk's companies also appear, although the news agency does not mention the existence of a definitive list of objectives or formal investigations against these companies.

Impeachment remains on the table

The scenario could change if investigations show evidence of serious irregularities. Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin, two House Democrats, have signaled they would expand the probes if their party regains the majority.

The White House has assured that it is prepared to respond to oversight requests, regardless of who controls the House or Senate. Meanwhile, Democrats are betting on a gradual strategy: first obtain documents and testimony, then determine whether there is enough evidence to move toward impeachment against Trump.
