WASHINGTON - President Trump is vowing to fight back against the new Congress after the midterm elections, CBS News reported. The network said lawmakers are returning to Washington, D.C., to what it called a "stunning new political reality." Its headline says Trump is preparing for a fight with Congress and assembling a more combative White House.
According to the CBS News video report, Trump spoke with Ross Douthat, whom the summary identifies as a 60 Minutes correspondent. Olivia Gazis reported on the lawmakers' return. The summary does not say what specific measures or disputes Trump has in mind, and it does not describe the White House staff changes beyond the headline's reference to a more combative team.
The available summary is the only source for these details, and it does not include quotations from Trump beyond the general vow to fight back. Further reporting would be needed to confirm the scope of his plans or how Congress is expected to respond.
