Washout after washout! The "Wetan Amroz" report on the Democrats' plan to impeach Trump; the war with Iran, the Epstein affair and the economic accusations of the President's entourage.
Summary: The victory of the Democrats in the US mid-term elections put the White House on the brink of a wave of congressional investigations. Republican Senator Ted Cruz predicted that with the Democrats taking over the House of Representatives, Trump would face repeated impeachment, subpoenas and extensive investigations, and the scope of the investigations would also extend to his family members, relatives and his cabinet.
Cruz's statements show the Republicans' concern about the consequences of the electoral defeat and the change in the balance of power in America. Despite expressing indifference to the possibility of impeachment, Trump threatened that such action would lead to the destruction of the Democratic Party. Fears grew that the last two years of his administration would become a period of constant war with the Congress.
From the beginning of 2027, by taking over the leadership of important congressional committees, the Democrats will begin comprehensive investigations into the performance of the government, the financial activities of Trump's associates, the way the Jeffrey Epstein case was handled, the immigration department, the efficiency department and the economic decisions of the White House. Senate Democrats also have parallel investigations on the agenda.
Impeachment will not be the only tool to pressure Congress. Summoning government officials, holding public meetings, publishing investigative documents and reports, and delaying the approval of government candidates can exert continuous pressure on the White House and even lead to the resignation of some cabinet members.
However, impeachment is different from removal. The House of Representatives can impeach the president with a simple majority, but impeachment requires a vote of two-thirds of the senators present. Trump was impeached twice in his first term, but neither of them received enough votes in the Senate. Therefore, the third impeachment will not necessarily lead to the end of his term, although the war against Iran and its consequences may face his government with a crisis of attrition.
