DEMS/HOUSE OF REPS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump said that if Democrats ‘want to play tough’ when they control the House of Representatives next year, he will declassify documents that will be ‘devastating’ to them…Democrats are poised to launch a series of investigations after winning a majority in the House in November. Democratic-controlled committees are likely to probe a range of issues including Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, Michael Cohen’s payments to women who say they’ve had affairs with Trump (allegations he denies), potential obstruction of justice and Trump’s finances..It’s an escalation of what Trump told reporters on November 7 after Democrats had retaken control of the House during the midterm elections. During that post-midterm news conference, Trump said that if Democrats start investigating his administration then he would be moving to ‘a warlike posture.'”
