"Anyone who has been in bed with the Trumps" would have "no choice but to respond to our questions", he said. Hours later, Garcia issued a blunt two-word warning : "Lawyer up." Garcia has previously pledged to investigate what he called the "Trump Crime Family", as well as corporate corruption, alleged abuses by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the handling of the Epstein files. Among the issues likely to attract scrutiny are the Trump family's lucrative business relationships with foreign investors and government-linked figures, particularly in the United Arab Emirates .

The investment was backed by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's national security adviser and brother of the country's president. According to the Wall Street Journal , $187m of the initial payment went to entities linked to the Trump family, while $31m went to companies associated with Steve Witkoff, Trump's Middle East envoy and a co-founder of the venture.

Democrats have won full control of the US Congress in a sweeping midterm rout on Tuesday, with a series of upsets delivering a major rebuke to President Donald Trump and his Republican Party. The victory handed Democrats both the House of Representatives and Senate, giving them power to block Trump’s agenda and investigate alleged corruption for the last two years of his presidency. The vote reflected deep anger over living costs, tariffs and Trump’s war against Iran, which has sent fuel prices soaring and compounded dissatisfaction with an already deeply unpopular president. Trump struck a conciliatory note despite his history of questioning election results, telling The New York Times : “I am absolutely willing to accept those results” and promising to “work with the Democrats”. But minutes later on social media the 80-year-old signalled how he intends to deal with Democratic attempts to pass laws, posting a picture of a red baseball cap emblazoned: “VETO.” The Democrats’ decisive Senate breakthroughs came in Kansas and Iowa, the fifth and sixth Republican-held seats to fall in the extraordinary “blue wave” election night. In Kansas, Methodist minister Adam Hamilton defeated Republican incumbent Roger Marshall, becoming the first Democrat elected to the Senate from the reliably conservative state since 1932. Iowa had not elected a Democratic senator since 2008, again illustrating the scale of party’s inroads into Republican strongholds.
