Your Evening Briefing
(Bloomberg) --
Democrats won control of the U.S. House, propelled by a surge in voter anger with Donald Trump. The outcome may dramatically alter Trump's next two years in office, as the new majority holds subpoena power. Trump, of course, has already warned that "two can play" the investigatory game. And he replaced Attorney General Jeff Sessions with a fierce critic of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's criminal probe of potential collusion by Trump's campaign with Russia.Â
