If there was one obvious conclusion from Democrats' sweeping victories in the mid-term elections on Tuesday, it seemed to be that the Republican effort to redraw congressional districts in their favor backfired.

"The White House's top lawyer sent a letter of warning to incoming House Oversight Committee chair Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., on Wednesday, claiming that the Democrats' promise to investigate the Trump administration "may cross the line into blatant criminality."

White House counsel William Scharf wrote Garcia a three-page letter to "remind" him of the constitutional limits of congressional investigations, "which you and members of the new Congress have evinced a clear intent to transgress."

The letter, obtained by PBS News, accuses Democrats of "abusive and capricious threats" against President Donald Trump and members of his administration."

ACKSON, Miss. (AP) " Democratic nominee Scott Colom has defeated Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi's closely contested U.S. Senate race after a prolonged ballot counting process, giving the state its first Black U.S. senator since post-Civil War Reconstruction.
