But US leader ousts Sessions, vows to fight Democrats if they launch probes

US President Donald Trump said he is willing to work across the aisle with Democrats in the House of Representatives, but vowed to fight if they push back, after the party regained the lower chamber of Congress in the midterm elections on Tuesday.

In a news conference at the White House a day after congressional elections created a divided Congress in which Republicans expanded their numbers in the Senate but lost control of the House, Trump stressed unity while a longtime Democratic leader highlighted oversight power on the same day.
