Trump orders DOJ to look into Democrats for 'threatening' people
Trump accused Democrats of threatening officials and donors, then ordered the Justice Department to investigate without citing evidence.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats, alleging their impeachment threats against officials and donors constitute a "criminal act" without providing evidence.
In a Truth Social post, Trump accused Democrats of "extortion at the highest level," claiming they threaten respected donors with imprisonment despite admitting they lack grounds for impeachment.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin was singled out by Trump, who claimed she intends to target young people supporting Republican Values, though he offered no evidence for this allegation.
Incoming Democratic majorities in Congress prepare to launch investigations into the administration, which Trump characterized as "Weaponization and Lawfare at another level."
Asserting these "EXTORTIONISTS" should be imprisoned, Trump urged Republicans to act quickly and alleged that Democrat Political Leaders sent threatening letters to innocent people.
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Democrats' threats to use their future majority in Congress to impeach members of his administration amounted to blackmail.
Democrats have promised to open investigations into Trump and senior members of his administration, including Attorney General Todd Blanche and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
