Trump Vows Comeback as Democrats Threaten Impeachment and Investigations

Donald Trump vowed a political comeback Sunday as Democrats, who won control of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, threatened investigations and impeachment of administration officials, setting up a bitter showdown. Trump ordered the Justice Department to examine Democratic impeachment threats against his aides, calling them "extortion." Attorney General Todd Blanche pledged to defend administration officials, while incoming Democratic leaders promised oversight hearings into Trump's business dealings, cryptocurrency, the Iran war, and other matters. Democrats plan to summon officials and demand documents with their new congressional majorities. Hakeem Jeffries, set to become House speaker, said he supports ousting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the Iran war. Trump appointed hardline advisor Stephen Miller as chief of staff, signaling a combative response.
