In an opinion piece for The Hill, Sandeep Prasanna argues that if Democrats gain control of one or both chambers of Congress in 2027, companies could face a significant increase in congressional investigations. While oversight of the administration will remain a priority, he notes that businesses in high-profile sectors such as AI, pharmaceuticals, energy, media, and financial services may become attractive oversight targets because they are often easier to investigate. Prasanna notes that congressional investigations operate differently from traditional litigation, giving committees broad discretion, offering fewer protections for privileged information, and creating significant reputational risks through public hearings and media scrutiny. He advises companies to prepare now by assessing political exposure, strengthening document preservation protocols, establishing internal response procedures, and developing a strategy for engaging with congressional staff. His key message is that organizations should build a congressional investigations playbook before receiving an inquiry rather than reacting once an investigation is underway.
