Democrats Eye Impeachment of 4 Trump Officials as They Prepare January Takeover

Summary
House and Senate Democrats said they are preparing investigations, hearings and possible impeachment efforts against four Trump officials—Howard Lutnick, Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller and Tom Homan—once they control Congress in January.
Lawmakers tied the push to alleged corruption, abuses and a reported China-linked spy matter involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, with Ted Lieu and Ro Khanna calling for scrutiny of what Lutnick and Rubio knew.
Ruben Gallego, Yassamin Ansari and Adelita Grijalva said the midterm result strengthened their mandate for oversight, while Robert Garcia also floated probes into Trump's pardons and other allies.
Any impeachment would still face a high bar: the House can approve charges by simple majority, but removal requires a two-thirds Senate vote, and Republicans dismissed the plans as politically driven.
