Briefing by News4U · First published
United States President Donald Trump on Saturday ordered the Department of Justice to look into Democrats for "threatening a lot of people" with impeachment and other forms of punishment after their midterm election victory, Al Jazeera reported. In a Truth Social post, Trump called the Democrats' actions a "criminal act" and "extortion at the highest level," without providing evidence, and said some cabinet members had been threatened with impeachment. The post came days after Democrats won both chambers of Congress; lawmakers have said they would pursue probes into Trump family finances, ICE, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Todd Blanche.
