U.S. Democrats are considering investigations into President Donald Trump's family cryptocurrency businesses, prediction-market and investment activities, Donald Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm 1789 Capital, and companies that funded White House projects if they control either chamber after November's midterm elections. A Democratic majority would provide additional committee resources and subpoena power, with some inquiries potentially starting as early as February 2027, although no final target list has been set. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal has also introduced legislation that would impose additional taxes on corporate income derived by presidential families from favorable government actions. The bill specifically references Polymarket and Vulcan, which have investment or advisory ties to Trump family members. The potential scrutiny follows expansion by Trump's family into crypto, drones, artificial intelligence and prediction markets, and could also encompass Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners, government contracts, foreign-government dealings and corporate donations connected to Trump's ballroom project. Companies tied to Trump and his family have prepared through legal reviews and crisis communications planning, while the administration and targeted businesses have denied wrongdoing.
