Overview
As the 119th Congress gets underway, businesses and individuals must prepare for a potentially rigorous landscape of congressional investigations. With a Republican majority controlling both chambers of Congress and the executive branch, congressional investigations are likely to complement the goals of the Trump Administration with a focus on oversight of various aspects of the private sector and retrospective oversight of the Biden Administration and its various legislative initiatives. We are also likely to see continued scrutiny and heightened interest in key issues from 2024, such as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) programs, higher education, diversity equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, speech regulation on social media platforms, reproductive rights, artificial intelligence (AI), and companies' and individuals' ties to China.
