‘Criminal act’: Trump orders DOJ to probe Democrats over 'threats' against people
US President Donald Trump has accused Democrats of sending threatening letters amid their recent electoral success. He claimed these actions involve criminal behavior, though he did not provide evidence. Democratic leaders plan to increase oversight of the executive branch and conduct investigations once they assume control of Congress. Senator Elissa Slotkin suggested that potential Trump administration employees should consider the consequences of their involvement.
