Dems zero in on Trump and Russia

Democrats vowed to introduce tough oversight of President Trump if they won back the House majority, and they are signaling a new aggressiveness to meet their promises.

Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, is slated to testify before Congress publicly next month, an event that promises high drama as lawmakers question him on Trump’s dealings in Russia and his involvement in a scheme to pay off women alleging affairs with him during the 2016 campaign.

Meanwhile, dueling reports have given Democrats momentum in further probing Trump’s actions and his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Taken together, the developments underscore the new political reality facing Trump as he readies for his reelection bid in 2020.
