但特朗普几乎清晰可辨的真正的恐惧是民主党控制的众议院将把所有调查集中在他本人身上：他接受宪法明文规定禁止的外国“酬金 ” ； 他未能与家族企业充分脱钩；他的纳税申报返还；他未经授权擅自在也门和叙利亚发动战争；当然还有他与俄罗斯之间的公开和私下交易。
But the real, almost palpable, fear on Trump’s part is that a Democratic-controlled House will focus all manner of investigations on him personally: his acceptance of Constitutionally forbidden “emoluments” from foreign countries; his failure to separate himself sufficiently from the family business; his tax returns; his unauthorized foreign wars in Yemen and Syria; and of course his official and private dealings with Russia.
