候任众议院监督委员会主席 Robert Garcia 公布调查议程:首项调查指向特朗普家族生意

民主党赢得中期选举、夺回国会两院次日,众议院监督委员会民主党领袖、候任主席 Robert Garcia 11 月 4 日在加州 Huntington Beach 公布新一届国会的监督调查议程:委员会的第一项调查将审查总统特朗普家族的生意往来。
Garcia 列出的其余调查方向包括国土安全部与移民及海关执法局的执法行为、企业腐败,以及司法部对爱泼斯坦档案的处理。他点名将首先传唤作证的人包括前国土安全部长 Kristi Noem、其前顾问 Corey Lewandowski、白宫高级顾问 Stephen Miller 与特朗普家族成员。他特别提到女婿 Jared Kushner 的利益冲突:Kushner 担任和平特使的同时,其投资公司 Affinity Partners 的出资方包括沙特阿拉伯、卡塔尔与阿联酋的主权基金;特朗普的两个儿子任职的公司则被指获得五角大楼关联合同。众议院司法委员会候任主席 Jamie Raskin 已致函 Kushner,要求其交出接受外国政府款项的财务记录并回避官方谈判。
Garcia 在选举之夜在社交平台只写了两个词:「Lawyer up(请好律师)」;11 月 6 日他对 CNBC 再度表示,监督委员会民主党人已准备好对付「骗子与特朗普犯罪家族」。他同时承认,司法部长 Todd Blanche 领导的司法部不太可能起诉拒绝传票的人,新国会的首批监督之争可能先在法院展开。新一届国会将于 2027 年 1 月 3 日宣誓就职,Garcia 届时正式接掌监督委员会。

Incoming House Oversight Chair Robert Garcia Sets Out Probe Agenda, With Trump Family Business First
A day after Democrats won the midterm elections and took control of both chambers of Congress, Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee and its incoming chair, set out the new Congress's oversight agenda in Huntington Beach, California, on November 4: the committee's first investigation will examine the business dealings of President Donald Trump's family.
Garcia's other listed inquiries cover the conduct of the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, corporate corruption, and the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. He named former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, her former adviser Corey Lewandowski, White House adviser Stephen Miller and members of the Trump family among those who would be called to testify first. He singled out the conflict he sees in Jared Kushner serving as a peace envoy while his investment firm, Affinity Partners, is backed by the sovereign funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, and said companies employing Trump's sons had received Pentagon-linked contracts. Jamie Raskin, the incoming Judiciary Committee chair, has written to Kushner demanding financial records on payments by foreign governments and asking him to recuse himself from official negotiations.
Garcia greeted election night with a two-word post, 'Lawyer up,' and told CNBC on November 6 that Oversight Democrats were ready to take on 'the crooks, the con men and the Trump crime family.' He acknowledged that the Justice Department under Attorney General Todd Blanche was unlikely to prosecute anyone who defied a subpoena, meaning the first oversight battles of the new Congress may be fought in court. The new Congress is sworn in on January 3, 2027, when Garcia formally takes the Oversight gavel.
