After victories in the House and Senate, Democrats are preparing congressional investigations into major U.S. corporations. Apple, Meta and companies led by Elon Musk are among the early targets. The probes are expected to examine corporate dealings with the Trump administration and other controversial business practices.
Lawmakers are reportedly interested in President Trump’s use of Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, Apple’s hosting of tracking apps used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Meta’s use of nondisclosure agreements with local governments for data center projects. As the prospect of subpoenas and public hearings grows, companies are seeking legal advice to prepare for increased scrutiny from the new Congress.
