The Democrats want to expose Trump's financial ties to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
According to the Washington Post (WaPo), Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are preparing to face a wide-ranging investigation by the US Congress into corruption allegations related to US President Donald Trump, his administration and his family. These investigations will be conducted following the victory of the Democrats in both houses of Congress.
Democratic lawmakers have warned the Gulf states that the investigation will examine financial investments, real estate transactions and possible links between business activity and US policy decisions.
The Democrats also warned that the non-cooperation of these countries in the investigation could endanger their relations with Washington; including future arms sales and US security assistance.
