Trump pledges a “stronger” political comeback as Democrats threaten to launch investigations into his administration’s “corruption.”

US President Donald Trump pledged on Sunday (November 8, 2026) to return to the political arena “bigger and stronger than ever,” despite Republicans losing their majority in both houses of Congress during the midterm elections.

Trump said, in a post on his “Truth Social” platform, that the United States took a big step backward due to the election results, but he pledged to come back strong. In the face of Democrats' threats to open investigations targeting his administration and those close to him, he instructed the Ministry of Justice to take action, describing these threats as "blackmail" attempts.

Musk and Miller are in the investigations department

On the other hand, the Democrats, who will take control of both chambers of Congress starting next January, are preparing to open broad investigations that include Trump, his family members, and senior officials in his administration, along with his business allies and major companies.

Democratic Representative Robert Garcia said that potential investigations would include the role of billionaire Elon Musk in the layoffs of federal employees last year, through the Government Efficiency Administration, as well as the role of Stephen Miller, whom Trump appointed as White House chief of staff, in formulating tough immigration policies.

Senator Elizabeth Warren also warned major companies of upcoming parliamentary investigations, calling on those that make profits by deceiving American families or defrauding investors to prepare for serious accountability.

Hegseth is threatened with impeachment

Among the most prominent targets was Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, as the leader of Democrats in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, announced his support for any measure to hold him accountable, against the backdrop of his management of the war on Iran and its security and economic repercussions.

Jeffries said Hegseth abused his powers and endangered national security, adding that "Pete Hegseth must go." Republican Representative Thomas Massie also announced his intention to resubmit articles of impeachment to hold the minister accountable.

The Ministry of Justice enters the front line

In the face of Democratic threats, Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that his department is ready to defend Trump administration officials and their allies if they are targeted by upcoming investigations, saying that those working in the administration will have a lawyer, indicating his readiness to take on this task.

But Garcia accused Blanche of acting as the president's personal lawyer instead of performing his role as Minister of Justice, while Jeffries described what he called the "Trump Cartel" as having practiced unprecedented corruption against Americans, stressing the need to hold accountable anyone proven to be involved in deceiving or stealing from them.
