The Speaker of the House of Representatives believes that Trump faces an attempt to impeach

Speaker of the lower house of the US Congress Mike Johnson believes that Democrats will try to impeach Donald Trump on his first day of work after establishing control of the House of Representatives.

Columbia University professor Robert Shapiro said the effort to impeach Trump will not succeed without a record Democratic victory in the November congressional elections.

Congressional elections, in which Americans will determine the new composition of the House of Representatives and the fate of 35 Senate seats, will take place on November 3.

NEW YORK, October 6 - RIA Novosti. Democrats, when establishing control over the US House of Representatives following the congressional elections, will try to impeach US President Donald Trump on the very first day of work, Speaker of the Lower House of the US Congress Mike Johnson is convinced.

Robert Shapiro, a professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University in New York, previously told RIA Novosti that the attempt to impeach Trump will not be successful without a record victory for the Democrats in the November congressional elections, since they need 20 more seats in the Senate than the current composition.

"It's guaranteed. Probably on day one or two," Johnson said on CSpan when asked how he assessed the likelihood of such action if the Democrats won.
