Trump Orders Investigation Into Democrats

President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate Democrats, claiming their threats to scrutinize him and other Republicans constitute criminal activity. He made the announcement on Truth Social without providing evidence. Trump alleges Democrats are threatening impeachment and other punishments against officials like the Attorney General, and that Republican donors face prison over political views. The order follows the Democratic midterm election victory, with the party planning multiple investigations into the Trump administration starting in January. Democrats have announced probes into Trump family finances, ICE, and officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Senator Elissa Slotkin, targeted by Trump, responded that lawbreakers should be held accountable. The Justice Department had not commented by Saturday.
