After Election Day, Trump stares down the specter of Democratic probes and the race to succeed him

If Democrats win control of Congress on Tuesday, they plan to launch aggressive investigations into the Trump administration, wielding subpoena powers to compel testimony and documents regarding policies and business dealings.
Facing potential midterm losses, Trump spent final weeks campaigning with a disjointed message, including a $5,000 promise to every adult and odd remarks about some candidates' muscular builds.
Specific investigative targets include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Jeffrey Epstein records, while California Rep. Robert Garcia vowed to 'demand accountability' for ICE tactics during an unannounced detention center visit.
Trump brushed off the prospect of legislative losses, telling reporters last week he has a "strong veto" and claiming he has become "very good at beating them in impeachment."
Potential House speaker Hakeem Jeffries may pursue an unprecedented third impeachment, while the White House prepares to reprise its strategy of asserting executive privilege against congressional subpoenas.
