Highlighting this answer from /u/alinaselyukh to a similar question below:

The reason this team was assembled in November is because the circumstances are really unprecedented. Since Watergate in the 70s, presidents (including Obama) have walked away from their financial ties (typically largely stocks or treasuries), selling them or putting them in a truly blind trust run by an independent person. In President Trump's case, he continues to own and profit from 500+ businesses around the world while also running the country -- and the public has little knowledge of the specifics of his and his family's financial ties: where the money comes from, to whom debts are owed, etc.

There's a House ethics committee & a Senate ethics committee, but their jurisdiction is within the chambers. If you think about committees that dig into wrongdoing by the administration, it's the judiciary committees on each side of Cap Hill, House Oversight, the Senate's governmental affairs ctte and others, depending on the specific issue.
