Trump admin fires back at House Democrats' investigation plans

Both parties on Capitol Hill are preparing for the new Congress with several investigations potentially on the horizon. Some Democrats say they're calling on the Trump administration to lawyer up. As reporter Caroline Elliott explains, the White House is issuing its own warning. The White House sending a harsh warning to Democrats who are planning to launch investigations into President Trump. If we impeach Donald Trump, we martyr him. There are going to be many, many, many investigations. The White House sent the note this week to Congressman Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee who told Republicans to lawyer up on election night. Donald Trump is clearly hiding something. We're not going to be threatened or intimidated because we are demanding accountability and oversight. The committee's very function is to investigate waste, fraud and abuse. But the White House said Democrats are going too far and those threats, quote, may cross the line into blatant criminality. What we've seen over the past several days and even over the past several weeks are outright threats. Many, many by elected members of Congress and some senators against anybody that's conservative and anybody that happens to be a Republican. Democrats are planning to look into how the Trump family has become significantly wealthier since returning to office, as well as the handling of the Epstein investigation and ICE operations. Meanwhile, President Trump has said he has nothing to hide. This is a guy who's willing to fight. And Congressman Garcia said these investigations won't stop at the Trump administration. He said Democrats will also be looking at corporate CEOs who are ripping off Americans and anyone involved with Epstein. And New York, Caroline Elliott, Fox News. Democrat Scott Colum has defeated incumbent Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. It marks the first time a black senator from Mississippi has been elected since 1988. Colum's narrow victory adds to the Democratic gains in last week's midterms. The Associated Press called the contest in Colum's favor after local officials spent days processing absentee and provisional ballots.
