1:05Watters highlights Democratic pledges to issue subpoenas against the Trump administration.

6:18Watters reviews White House counsel Will Scharf's warning letter to incoming House Oversight leadership.

10:50The segment turns to Democratic calls for Hegseth's resignation or impeachment.

Subpoenas, televised hearings and impeachment are different ways to confront an administration. Jesse Watters' Fox News commentary examines Democrats' plans to use them after their midterm victories, arguing that the investigations could also put companies and political donors under pressure.

Democrats won majorities in both chambers of Congress, setting up a change in oversight of President Donald Trump's administration. Watters presents their investigation plans as an aggressive political campaign. The Democratic speakers shown describe their aim as accountability.

One distinction emerges in footage of Representative-elect Richard Ojeda: he favors prime-time public hearings rather than immediately impeaching Trump. "If we impeach Donald Trump, we martyr him," Ojeda says. His proposed approach puts public scrutiny before an impeachment push.

Watters then turns to a warning letter from White House counsel Will Scharf to incoming House Oversight leadership. That response adds the administration's position to a subject covered elsewhere today largely through Democratic demands for investigations.

The segment also shows Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez making a conditional case for prosecution: "If someone committed a crime and they are guilty of a crime, then they should be prosecuted." Watters later examines calls for Pete Hegseth's resignation or impeachment, including criticism from Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed. These are demands for action, not announcements that prosecutions or removals have occurred.
