Donald Trump has more reasons to worry about a possible Democratic takeover following the upcoming midterm election, RadarOnline.com can report.
House Democrats are already making plans to target Trump, his administration, and his family with a tidal wave of investigations if things go their way during the November election.
Donald Trump Could Face New Investigations
Democrats have threatened a series of hearings and investigations in the Trump administration.
Democrats are licking their lips at the possibility of a blue wave sweeping into Congress and would love to test out any new power they gain. And top of the list could be open hearings on s-- fiend Jeffrey Epstein.
"I think we're going to have, in the majority, public Epstein hearings," Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), who is poised to lead the Oversight Committee under a Democratic takeover, told Politico.
Other investigation hearings could focus on key Trump controversies, including his acceptance of a Qatari jet for use as his new Air Force One and his family's cryptocurrency investments.
Democratic leaders insist nothing would be off the table – including impeachment hearings.
"Nobody on the Democratic side is afraid of impeachment," Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said, calling the procedure a "tool in the toolbox."
Donald Trump's Family Reunion on Capitol Hill
Democrats want to host Epstein hearings that are open to the public.
But Donald likely won't get lonely on Capitol Hill – Garcia said plans are in place to hold his entire family accountable.
"Ideally, it's the president's sons and the president and the family," Garcia told Politico. He indicated he wants to hear from Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, son-in-law and Trump envoy Jared Kushner, plus, former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Cory Lewandowski, who served as her chief of staff.
And it seems there is already a line forming among congressmen and women for each hearing.
"There’s enough Trump family corruption to go around," Raskin quipped. "I don’t think we have to worry about that. We will just be dividing it up."
The Justice Department Ordered to Hand Over Epstein Evidence
Tump's family and friends could be targets as well.
Meanwhile, one federal judge isn't waiting for more hearings. Senior U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan has issued a stern warning to Justice Department lawyers that they better not be holding back any Epstein records ordered released by the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act,.
"The public has a right to know what the h--l is going on in this case. The victims have a right to know. The court has a right to know," Sullivan, who was nominated to the federal bench by Bill Clinton, told the DOJ legal team, expressing his displeasure at how certain names were blacked out in released documents, along with the absence of handwritten FBI interview notes
"The law is still in full force and effect. The court is just ensuring compliance," the judge continued.

Ghislaine Maxwell has lost her objections to more Epstein documents being made public.
More "volumes" of previously unseen evidence against Epstein and his paramour, Ghislaine Maxwell, will reportedly soon come to light as well.
The documents in question are from when Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre sued Maxwell for defamation in 2015.
"Maxwell has lodged a veritable kitchen sink of objections to the government’s request to publish the sealed materials in compliance with the Act," the judge wrote. "The court finds that all of Maxwell’s objections are meritless and that, in light of the Act, any remaining materials in the Government’s possession should become part of the public record, subject to any victim-protecting redactions authorized by the Act."
