Trump says deportation policy may have been too tough after midterm loss
President Trump said in a CBS interview that his deportation policy may have been 'too tough' after Republicans lost control of Congress. He said he is open to an immigration deal with Democrats and that some have already called him. Trump also vowed a political comeback. Incoming Democratic leaders plan investigations of his administration. Trump called the requests 'extortion', and the Justice Department said it could probe lawmakers.
Why it matters
A divided Congress will shape US immigration, trade and foreign policy for the next two years.
Background
Republicans lost the House and Senate in the November 3 midterm elections. Democrats say they will use committee powers to investigate the administration.
