Democratic oversight plans and court cases test presidential power

Incoming Democrats are preparing investigations into Epstein-related records, Trump family business dealings, immigration enforcement, Musk’s role in the administration and DOGE, and other administration actions; specific steps remain unclear. Stephen Miller’s Nov. 6 appointment as White House chief of staff is reported as confirmed, while a possible White House contingency plan remains unverified and Trump’s tentative cabinet-shakeup remarks name no targets. Trump’s D.C. projects face potential congressional scrutiny and litigation, including a temporary pause on the arch project; Paul Ryan’s suggested opening for immigration talks is speculation, not evidence of negotiations.
