Trump seeks to show he remains in charge of Washington

Trump on Wednesday sought to show he remains in charge of Washington one day after his party lost control of the House in the midterm elections.

Trump kicked off a long-anticipated Cabinet shakeup by forcing out Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a move that immediately set up a high-stakes confrontation with congressional Democrats over the Russia investigation.

The announcement came just hours after the president held court at a rare solo news conference at the White House, where he sparred with reporters who pressed him over his divisive rhetoric, warned Democrats about investigatory overreach and painted the midterm results as a validation of his political skills.

“I’ll be honest, I thought it was very close to complete victory,” Trump said during the 86-minute press conference in the East Room.
