Democrats ready to pursue aggressive Trump oversight: Pelosi
WASHINGTON, Nov 7 (Reuters) - The top Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives pledged a new era of congressional scrutiny over President Donald Trump on Wednesday, shrugging off White House threats of political warfare if Democrats launch investigations into his affairs.
"We have a constitutional responsibility for oversight," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters, a day after voters gave Democrats control of the House for the first time in eight years.
"This doesn't mean we go looking for a fight. But it means that if we see a need to go forward, we will," she said.
Incoming Democratic committee chairmen are expected to lead investigations into Trump's long-hidden tax returns, possible conflicts of interest from his business empire and any collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign team in the 2016 election.
