Garcia is the ranking member of the House oversight committee and is expected to become its chair, The Guardian reports. The committee has broad power to call witnesses, request government documents and issue subpoenas, the paper says.

“LAWYER UP,” Garcia posted on X, Fox News reports. Wyden offered a single word: “Subpoenas.”

Garcia has previously said that if Democrats won, he would lead investigations into Elon Musk's role in the Department of Government Efficiency, the Trump family's business dealings, abuses by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, The Guardian reports.

“We’re not starting from scratch here,” Garcia previously said in an interview with Punchbowl News, according to The Guardian.

Other Democrats joined in. Representative Delia Ramirez of Illinois listed Trump officials and allies she appeared eager to call before Congress, Fox reports. “Noem, Markwayne, Miller, Homan, Bovino, what’s up? Clear your schedule,” she wrote.

Senator Ed Markey also posted on X. “They are going to need to plant new forests for all of the subpoenas we’ll be printing,” he wrote, Fox reports.

Fox says the warnings gave an early look at the investigations that could consume Washington when the new Congress meets in January.

Democrats retook control of the Senate and are widely expected to win the House as well, The Guardian reports. Republicans have held majorities in the House and Senate for the past two years, the paper says.

“There’s an enormous amount of work that has happened that is public,” Garcia said in the Punchbowl News interview, The Guardian reports.
