House Democrats Investigate Trump Over Alleged Quid Pro Quo With Oil Executives
Trump's Mar-a-Lago dinner with oil industry leaders raises ethical and legal concerns over campaign donations and policy promises.
- House Oversight Committee Democrats request details from nine oil executives about the meeting.
- Trump allegedly asked for $1 billion in campaign contributions in exchange for rolling back Biden's environmental policies.
- The investigation is hampered by the lack of subpoena power due to Republican control of the House.
- Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is considering a parallel investigation with subpoena powers in the Senate.
- Ethics watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is also probing the matter.
