How?

Threaten to release his tax returns.

What will it take?

About five Republicans or a Democratic majority in House and/or Senate.

Will it work?

I think that he would take the deal. If the tax returns are public, I don't think he'll be worried about impeachment. He will be too busy fighting extradition.
