Democrats Seek State Role in Europe Troop Review

— 1d
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and fellow Senate Democrats urge Secretary of State Marco Rubio to ensure the State Department is fully involved in the Pentagon-led Europe Force Posture Review, arguing that ambassadors and diplomats must be consulted to account for diplomatic and alliance implications. Critics warn that sidelining State Department input could strain NATO ties, especially with Baltic states, as Russia intensifies hybrid threats, while the administration maintains an interagency review is needed to balance diplomacy with defense considerations as the review runs toward its year-end conclusion.

If Democrats win back the House, they plan sweeping investigations into President Donald Trump, his family, and his administration, focusing on the wealth and business gains during his tenure, energy and defense deals, pardons, and potential private dealings by Kushner and Trump Jr., with the effort expected to require the full caucus and facing White House resistance. The Washington Post reports multiple Democrats and aides outlining a coordinated oversight push, including probes into cryptocurrency ventures and the restructuring of federal government agencies.
