Trump Directs DOJ to Investigate Democrats Over Alleged Threats Against Republicans
US President Donald Trump has directed the Department of Justice to investigate Democratic lawmakers over alleged threats against Republican officials, donors, and supporters, describing these actions as "extortion at the highest level" and "weaponisation and lawfare." Trump specifically accused Senator Elissa Slotkin of targeting young conservatives. He urged those receiving threatening letters to report them to the DOJ or to him. No evidence was provided to support these claims, and calls were made for Senate and House action.
