Trump threatens Democrats with counter-investigations

washington - If the Democrats use their newly acquired majority in the House of Representatives to start all kinds of investigations into Donald Trump and his entourage, the president will not be left unanswered. 'Then we will be forced to consider investigating all leaks of secret information and many other cases from the Senate,' said Trump via Twitter.

It was his first substantive response to the election results. The Democrats hold the majority of the seats in the House. This gives them the opportunity to conduct investigations into, for example, the tax documents of the president, which Democratic politicians have been teasing for a while. But in the Senate, the Republicans retain their majority.
