Welcome to Donald Trump s nightmare.

When the 116th Congress is sworn in on Thursday, the Democratic Party will control the House of Representatives and the new committee chairs are ready to finally conduct rigorous oversight of the presidents administration for the first time.

For the last two years, the president has had no oversight, no accountability from Congress, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), the new chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said on CBS This Morning on Wednesday. Were going to provide that oversight. Were going to use the subpoena power if we have to.

Democrats will almost immediately begin to investigate the many controversial policies and scandals of the Trump administration.

Anti-Immigrant Policies

Nadler has promised to dig into the presidents nativist policies targeting refugees, migrants and immigrants already living in the United States. This includes getting real answers about the administrations family separation policy that ripped migrant children from their parents at the border and investigating the inclusion of a citizenship question in the 2020 Census, the deployment of U.S. troops to the border and changes to asylum laws.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the new chairman for the House Oversight and Reform Committee, also plans to immediately send out document requests and subpoenas to get to the bottom of the family separation policy. His Thursday letter will demand the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice provide documentation on every child who was separated from their parents at the border and where they are now.

Security Clearances For Flynn And Kushner

Cummings also plans to ask the White House to explain how it approved security clearances for former national security adviser Michael Flynn and Trumps son-in-law, Jared Kushner . Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador during the transition in 2016 and for failing to file as a foreign agent for the government of Turkey. Like the president, Kushner retains a connection to his family real estate business, which has extensive debts and interests linked to foreign countries a major potential conflict of interest.
