On November 7, President Donald Trump said on X that Democrats are threatening the U.S. Attorney General and others, and that he has ordered an investigation.
Trump alleged that Democrats are “threatening a lot of people” with impeachment and other punishments while admitting they have no reason to do so and that “there have been no impeachable acts committed.” He called the actions “extortion at the highest level” and said those responsible “should be held accountable.” He also claimed donors who support Republicans are being threatened with imprisonment and described the situation as “Weaponization and Lawfare at another level.”
Trump specifically named “the Senator from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin,” saying “she is going to go after all young people that believe in Republican Values, and that give even the slightest inclination to be a Republican.” He added that “Threatening letters have been sent to many people, all innocent, from Democrat Political Leaders.”
He concluded: “By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!” Source: X
