Trump vows comeback as Democrats threaten prosecutions after midterm losses

manilatimes.net —

Donald Trump vowed a political comeback Sunday as Democrats threatened to prosecute top administration officials after Republicans lost control of Congress in midterm elections, leaving the president politically hamstrung for his remaining two years in office. The Democrat-controlled Congress can now summon officials, demand documents, and hold public hearings, with likely targets including Trump's business dealings, Elon Musk's government contracts, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, whom incoming House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries said he supports impeaching over the Iran war. Trump appointed hardline advisor Stephen Miller as chief of staff and ordered the Justice Department to examine Democrat impeachment threats, while Attorney General Todd Blanche vowed to defend administration officials, as both parties clashed over oversight powers.
