(CNN) The powerful House Oversight Committee, which is expected to be at the center of investigations into President Donald Trump's administration, is getting several high-profile young members this Congress, among them freshman Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

The Oversight Committee announced Tuesday that among its new members were Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rep. Ro Khanna of California. Politico first reported the committee appointments

The Oversight Committee is a far-reaching and prominent panel, expected to be among the most active at investigating the Trump administration. The committee already has a blockbuster hearing on its schedule , as it's expected to hear public testimony from Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen early next month.

"Our Committee is the primary investigative body in Congress, and we will address the issues that affect the American people every day while we root out waste, fraud, and abuse," Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings of Maryland said in a statement announcing the members.

The committee placement ensures that some of the freshmen class's most outspoken Trump critics will continue to be in the spotlight representing, in part, the Democratic Party on the national stage in the coming months.
