Analysis: What will Congress realistically do now that Trump has been implicated in a crime?

One big question after the stunning dual convictions of President Trump’s former campaign boss and former attorney — the latter of whom said Trump directed him to do something illegal — is whether Trump himself will face consequences.

Legally, the answer is: Probably not. There’s a decades-old Justice Department guideline saying sitting presidents can’t be indicted, and there’s no indication that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III wants to challenge that.

That leaves the option that Trump will face political consequences after his former attorney alleged that Trump broke the law. Voters will get a chance to weigh in on all of this in November’s midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress, but for now any action or lack thereof is up to the current Republican-controlled Congress to decide.

It’s a Congress that has been reluctant to use the tools it has to their fullest extent to confront Trump, even when he has done things that angered members of his own party. On everything from Trump’s deference to Russian President Vladimir Putin on election interference, to his threats to fire key players in the Russia investigation, to implementing tariffs across the globe, the Senate has passed only one meaningful piece of legislation in the past year and a half to stand up to him.
