House Democrats could deliver ‘a fatal blow’ to Trump’s reign: former prosecutor

As Democrats retook control of Congress on Thursday, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance explained how investigations into President Donald Trump could present "a fatal blow" to the administration.

MSNBC's "Deadline: White House" with guest host Katy Tur explained what the Trump administration will experience while facing congressional oversight.

"He's going to be facing some very serious investigations, it is a brand-new world for him," Tur reported. "Investigations and oversight that he did not face in the last two years with the Republican-controlled Congress."

"This Congress ... looks like it's loaded for bear at this point in time," Vance observed. "Nancy Pelosi has brought over an experienced former DOJ lawyer who left shortly after this administration began, a guy named Doug Letter, who was in DOJ's civil appellate division."

"He'll run a tight shop, subpoenas will start flying," she continued. "This will be a serious investigation -- it won't be a witch hunt, it won't be scattergun."

"A normal presidency might be annoyed, but could withstand it. This presidency, it could be a fatal blow, frankly," she added.

"It's not just the president himself, there's going to be investigations potentially and subpoenas coming to the president's own family," Tur reminded.

"I think that's right," Vance agreed. "Certainly Congress will be interested in the activities of all senior Trump officials, including Ivanka [Trump] and Jared [Kushner], but also we know that there's this double-threat at least coming out of the Southern District of New York."

"Maybe a triple-threat coming from the New York Attorney General -- with folks looking at the [Trump Foundation], at Trump Organization and with Trump's children running those entities," she explained. "Because he refused to put his assets into a blind trust, there is no telling where these investigations could legitimately go."

"And investigations potentially have very serious consequences," Tur added.
