House Democrats plan vast oversight of Trump administration. Impeachment is an option

Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York stated that there is a cost to the American people of the out-of-control corruption. He is in line to become House speaker if Democrats win control at the Capitol.

US President Donald Trump said he rejected an Iranian plan to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz. According to Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Iran had conveyed a concrete seven-day plan to the US through Qatar to reopen the strait and restore normal maritime passage.

Trump claimed that Tehran was facing financial pressure. NPR reported that the Iranian proposal is similar to a memorandum of understanding agreed upon by the US and Iran back in June.
