Democrats are plotting to drag Barron Trump, 20, and First Lady Melania before hostile congressional investigators if they win back control of either chamber in the November midterms. Representative Jamie Raskin said there is 'enough Trump family corruption to go around', with a top Democratic strategist vowing to 'leave no stone unturned' and naming Barron and Melania as targets for the first time. Trump is reportedly 'angry but not surprised' as the White House prepares the entire family for two years of intense scrutiny. A White House official branded the strategy 'embarrassing', accusing Democrats of having 'nothing to run on'.

Raskin said investigators will simply be 'dividing up' the Trump family between committees, with no member considered off limits.
