Trump Casts Doubt on Midterms, Orders Probe of Democrats

President Donald Trump has ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democratic politicians who announced probes against him and his administration, following the Democrats' midterm victory. He also cast doubt on the election results. Trump instructed Attorney General Todd Blanche via Truth Social to investigate Democrats, calling them "blackmailers" who should face prison. He also shared posts questioning the Democrats' lead, despite initially accepting the outcome. Democrats now hold majorities in both chambers. Democrats plan to investigate Trump and officials like Blanche and Hegseth, with subpoena powers. Trump's appointment of hardliner Stephen Miller as chief of staff is seen as a challenge. He also stirred speculation by offering the press secretary role to UFC's Dana White.
