Congressional investigations typically occur through committees, which are specialized groups within the House of Representatives and the Senate. These committees can hold hearings, issue subpoenas, and gather evidence related to specific issues or allegations. Common committees involved include the Judiciary, Oversight and Reform, and Appropriations Committees. Additionally, Congress may conduct investigations through select committees or special commissions for particular matters of national importance.
