AOC Says Democrats Will Launch ‘Aggressive Investigation’ Into Trump

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said Friday that Democrats would pursue what she described as an “aggressive investigation” into President Donald Trump and his administration if they regain control of Congress after the 2026 midterm elections.

Appearing on MS NOW’s The Briefing with host Jen Psaki, Ocasio-Cortez argued that congressional oversight and advancing the Democratic agenda could happen simultaneously, rejecting the notion that lawmakers would have to choose between investigations and legislation.

Psaki framed the discussion by referencing comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who has warned that Democrats would use a House majority to investigate Trump, members of his Cabinet and those close to the administration.

“I played a clip of little Mike Johnson, as I like to call him, laying out how a Democratic majority in Congress would investigate the president, the cabinet, donors and friends,” Psaki said.
