Trump ‘worried’ about impeachment over Russia ties: ReportTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC)-US President Donald Trump sees impeachment as a “real possibility” when Democrats take over the House of Representatives in a month, amid thشe ongoing probe into the president’s ties with Russia, sources close to the White House say.

Despite publicly dismissing as a “hoax” the ongoing probe into his alleged “collusion” with Russia, Trump is worried that new breakthroughs in a related case regarding campaign finance violations could bring him down, CNN reported Monday, citing unnamed sources in the White House.

The investigation, led by US Special Counsel Robert Mueller, made the headlines on Friday, after a court filing revealed that Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, had provided Mueller with “useful information” concerning certain discrete Russia-related matters core to his investigation.

Another source close to the White House told CNN that people inside the West Wing believed Cohen’s way of spending campaign donations was "the only issue that may stick"

Trump earlier this year acknowledged repaying his Cohen for the $130,000 he secretly paid adult film actress Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels.
