Does Trump sees impeachment as real possibility?

U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed concern that he could be impeached when Democrats take over the House, a source close to the President said.

According to the source, Trump sees impeachment as a "real possibility," but he isn't certain it will happen, CNN reported.

A separate source close to the White House said that aides inside the West Wing believe "the only issue that may stick" in the impeachment process is the campaign finance violations tied to former Trump attorney Michael Cohen's payouts to Trump's alleged mistresses. Cohen first made the allegation in court in September that he was directed by Trump to make the payments to the two women. 

Democrats are suggesting Trump committed an impeachable offense and could be sent to prison when his term in the White House is over. The incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerry Nadler, said earlier that the allegations, if proven, would constitute "impeachable offenses."

White House officials, at the moment, still don't believe special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion will result in impeachment, according to CNN. Officials are also comforted by their belief that the campaign finance issue is not seen as enough to galvanize bipartisan support for impeachment.
