WASHINGTON – While Promoting Republican victories in the Senate, President Donald Trump spent the post-election election on Wednesday morning threatening to investigate the Democrats who took control of the House and now threaten to investigate. on him.

"If the Democrats think that they are going to waste the taxpayer's money during our House-level investigation, we will also be forced to consider an investigation for all leaked information." and many more at the Senate level, "said Trump. during a tweet storm early in the morning.

"It's a game that is played with two!" he added.

The president also planned a press conference Wednesday to discuss what he called "our mid-term success!"

The Democrats, meanwhile, began planning their takeover of the House in January, including increasing control over Trump and his administration.

"We will fill the gaps in the investigations on Russia," said representative Eric Swalwell, member of the Intelligence Committee of the House of Representatives of the House of Representatives of the Chamber of Deputies, during the broadcast " Today "of the NBC channel. "The American people will see his testimony (that of Trump) tax returns, not because of any voyeuristic interest, but because they should know where he is corrupted."

Hi! Here we have full coverage of the mid-term elections. Let's start!

In a series of other tweets this morning, Trump is praised GOP wins during tight races on polling day, while blaming the losses on Republicans who fled from his support.

"Those who worked with me in this incredible mid-term election, adopting certain policies and principles, have been very successful," Trump said in a tweet. "Those who did not say it, say goodbye!"

Trump has raised questions about the investigation led by the special advocate Robert Mueller about the investigation of Russia, citing a poll at the exit of NBC News that a slightly higher number of Voters opposed the investigation than to support it. The tweet marked the first time Trump has tweeted about the survey for weeks.

"You mean that they're finally starting to understand what a disgusting witch hunt is all about, led by 17 angry Democrats!" Trump wrote.

He also attacked the media, claiming in an article that the "experts" who do not give the Trump team "the proper credit for this great mid-term election" are just "false news! "

The President's press conference will be held at the White House at 11:30 am EST.

The newly-empowered House Democrats said they would adopt new health and employment legislation, as well as increased oversight of the Trump government.

"We will work from day one by creating jobs, rebuilding our infrastructure, lowering the cost of prescription drugs and cracking down on any politician who abuses his public service," said David Cicilline, Co-Chair of the D -Rhode Island, the Committee on Democratic Policy and Communications.

Democrats said their goals ranged from accusations of unethical government officials to allegations that Trump 's campaign would have helped Russian pirates influence the 2016 presidential election.

In his interview with NBC, Swalwell said, "We are going to consider how to cash in oval office access and this has been worrisome and its financial complications abroad."

Trumpo has not specified his threat to cross-investigate the Democrats. In recent weeks he has accused them of inappropriately disclosing information about Supreme Court candidate Brett Kavanaugh.

Some critics said Trump's threat did not bode well for collaborating on legislation.

Matthew Miller, a spokesman for the Justice Department led by President Barack Obama, said Trump was considering dismissing Attorney General Jeff Sessions. In the middle of this information, Miller tweeted: "Trump threatens the criminal investigations of his political critics, things are going according to plan."

The president did not directly address the result that represents a radical change in national politics: the democratic takeover of the House of Representatives. Democrats won tens of seats Tuesday, many of them in Trump's 2016 districts.

Instead, on Twitter, he played Republican victories.

Trump has issued a quote from his supporter and writer Ben Stein suggesting that the results show that the president has "a magic coming out of his ears" as the GOP has widened its majority in the Senate by winning races in Indiana, North Dakota and Missouri.

A few minutes later, Trump tweeted a quote that he had obviously heard from a Fox Business Network presenter stating that his rank with Republicans in Congress should improve because of the campaign's quest. He had led in the run-up to Tuesday's elections. The anchor wrote that successful Republicans owed Trump their career.

"Thanks," Trump added in a tweet. "I agree!"

Trump had a long-standing tradition that presidents reflected on mid-term reviews, an effort that would continue almost every Wednesday. The former presidents have recognized their losses in a particularly colorful language.

When Republicans lost 30 seats and control of the House of Representatives in 2006, President George W. Bush memorably summed up the results of his second mid-term election in one word: "The President has declared to the press that its president was a "thumpin".

At a press conference after the 2010 elections, during which Democrats lost 63 seats, President Barack Obama acknowledged that his relationship with voters had "deteriorated" and sparked a burst of laughter by describing the Republican wave as a "wake".

The President spent the hours following the elections calling various winners, including Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi of California. He also spoke with Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York.

In a sort of full-bodied compliment, Trump tweeted that Pelosi deserved to be elected Speaker of the House by her Democratic colleagues, some of whom criticized her leadership. "If they give him a hard time, we may add Republican votes," Trump said. "She won this great honor!"

The president also called to congratulate the new Republican senators, including Rick Scott of Florida, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota and Josh Hawley of Missouri.

Trump officials said they were prepared for the prospect of a Democratic House. One strategy, they said, would be to focus on the points dealt with by the Senate, led by the Republicans, a list including trade agreements and judicial appointments.

Presidential advisor Kellyanne Conway said Trump had managed to avoid an "obstruction" like Obama, and that he will now try to work with Democrats on issues of common interest such immigration and infrastructure.

Regarding Trump's investigations and his administration by the House, Conway said they would treat them as they occur.

She also referred to court challenges to subpoenas before the House.

When asked what would happen, for example, if Democrats in the House were asking for Trump's tax returns, Conway said, "We'll talk to the lawyers about this – we'll see what happens. . "
