According to Jordan, a Democratic-controlled House would prioritize investigations over legislative action, targeting both government officials and private-sector leaders. He suggested that this strategy could shape the political landscape by creating continuous scrutiny of the president’s family and prospective Republican candidates, thereby influencing the next election cycle.
