Trump asks DOJ to probe Democrats' impeachment threats against cabinet officials

President Trump asked the Justice Department on Saturday to investigate Democratic lawmakers who have called for impeaching Republican cabinet officials, calling the threats "extortion at the highest level" and ordering the department to "look into this." Trump's request follows statements from two House Democrats, Reps. Hank Johnson and Deborah Ross, who voiced support for impeaching Attorney General Todd Blanche and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This came after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday's elections. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie also plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Hegseth, who dismissed the threats as "sham articles" from a "disgruntled, defeated congressman." Trump accused Democrats of "Weaponization and Lawfare" in his post.
