The Republican leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives has formulated a three-stage emergency plan to protect President Donald Trump, his family, and senior administration officials from a wave of investigations and impeachment attempts by Democrats, following the shift in the midterm elections. A letter revealed on Fox News, sent yesterday (Thursday) by Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise to committee heads in Congress, instructs them to use the remaining time until the transfer of control of the House to map investigation targets, prepare for legal battles, and consider using executive privilege. The move comes after senior Democrats sent direct warnings to administration officials, including a call by House member Robert Garcia: 'Get lawyers.' The article quotes Scalise warning of 'political persecution' and the Democrats' dismissive response to his letter.
