Trump orders DOJ probe into House Oversight Democrats after threats

Attorney General Todd Blanche warned House Oversight Committee Democrats to be "very worried" after President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate them for threats of impeachment and punishment against administration officials. Blanche accused Democrats, including incoming Oversight Chair Robert Garcia, of threatening administration members and future staffers with investigations. Garcia vowed an "aggressive" investigative approach, targeting Trump's advisers, family members, and Elon Musk, and dismissed the DOJ's stance as "ridiculous" and "thin-skinned." The clash follows Democrats' midterm victories, securing House and Senate majorities. Garcia listed Stephen Miller, the new White House chief of staff, among investigation targets, while Blanche said the DOJ would defend Miller if roped into congressional inquiries.
