President Trump “wants to step up efforts to protect Republican control of the House in hopes of avoiding an impeachment debate and congressional investigations if Democrats seize the chamber,” The Hill reports.

“Another party strategist said the order from the president to the Republican National Committee has been clear: Protect the House at all costs.”
