Democrats in the U.S. Plan Congressional Subpoenas to Investigate Trump's Conflicts of Interest
Democrats in the U.S. are preparing to launch a new round of congressional subpoenas targeting Trump and his inner circle, focusing on allegations that he commercialized the presidency after returning to the White House, allowing family members, allies, and donors to profit from a massive profit chain.
The related allegations involve amounts reaching billions of dollars, with Trump and the White House denying any conflicts of interest.
If the Democrats regain investigative power, this move could become one of the most damaging congressional offensives against his second term.

Democrats' actions continue their long-standing focus on Trump's business interests, aiming to obtain documents and testimonies through subpoenas, concentrating on potential conflicts of interest and decision-making fairness.
In terms of capital pathways, if the investigation progresses, it will increase uncertainty for Trump-related businesses and political operations, while providing the Democrats with political leverage, strategically attempting to constrain executive power through congressional mechanisms.
Similar to multiple investigations during his first term or the Watergate model, in the current polarized U.S. political environment, congressional investigation tools are being used by both parties for power checks, with conflict of interest allegations becoming a focal point of a prolonged battle.
Essentially a game of political capital, in a divided congressional environment, investigative power becomes an important lever, with capital flows increasingly affected by political risks.
