Congressional investigation

A Congressional investigation is a formal process where Congress examines matters of public concern, such as government misconduct, policy issues, or potential violations of law. Through hearings and questioning, Congress gathers information, evaluates facts, and holds individuals or agencies accountable. These investigations help ensure transparency, oversight, and adherence to laws, and can lead to recommendations, legislative changes, or even legal action. They are an essential tool for Congress to fulfill its oversight responsibilities and protect the public interest.
