Trump vows comeback as Democrats threaten prosecutions after midterm loss
Donald Trump has vowed a political comeback after his Republicans lost control of Congress in midterm elections, as Democrats threaten to prosecute top administration officials. The results leave him entering a two-year lame duck period with investigations looming. Democrat leaders promised to hold Trump and his aides accountable, while Attorney General Todd Blanche vowed to defend them. Trump appointed hardline advisor Stephen Miller as chief of staff, signaling a fightback. Democrats can summon officials and demand documents with their new congressional control. Likely investigation subjects include Trump family business dealings, contracts involving Elon Musk, and the Iran war. Hakeem Jeffries, set to become House speaker, supports ousting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Trump was impeached twice during his first presidency but acquitted both times.
