This perspective was published in an article in the British newspaper The Independent.<\/p>\n<p>James Carville, a well-known Democrat, wrote that a Congress controlled by his party would likely launch extensive investigations into the conduct of Trump and his family members. He also mentioned claims of potential &#8220;war crimes&#8221; related to Iran but did not provide specific details.<\/p>\n<p>Carville believes that the political pressure from these congressional investigations, along with possible civil lawsuits, could create conditions leading Trump to resign about a year from now. This scenario, however, depends on the outcomes of the midterm elections and the balance of power in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>So far, there has been no official response from Trump or his team regarding this prediction. The results of the midterm elections play a decisive role in the United States&#8217; political structure in determining the oversight and authority Congress holds over the president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Democratic strategist predicts President Trump&#8217;s term could end early if Democrats control Congress after the midterms, amid investigations and political pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10070,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-international"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
