Trump vows comeback as Congress clash looms

Donald Trump has vowed a political comeback as Democrats threaten to prosecute top administration officials, escalating tensions ahead of a bitter showdown with the new Congress. He appointed hardline adviser Stephen Miller as chief of staff, signaling an aggressive fightback despite Republican losses. Miller, architect of Trump's tough immigration policy, faces impeachment threats from Democrats who now control both chambers of Congress. Attorney-General Todd Blanche vowed to defend Trump and officials, while Democrats pledged to investigate administration actions, including the Iran war and government contracts. Democrats can summon officials and demand documents with their new committee control. Hakeem Jeffries, set to become Speaker, supports ousting Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth over the Iran war. Trump, impeached twice during his first presidency, was acquitted by the Senate both times.
