President Trump says he has ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats who have threatened to impeach Attorney General Todd Blanche and other members of his administration.
Trump made the announcement Saturday afternoon in a post on Truth Social, days after Democrats won majorities in both the House and the Senate.
“The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the Attorney General of the United States,” Trump wrote, adding that they were also threatening others with impeachment and “many other forms of punishment.” He said Democrats admit they have “no reason to do so” and described the conduct as criminal.
Since Election Day, at least two House Democrats, Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia and Rep. Deborah Ross of North Carolina, have publicly said they would support impeaching Blanche, according to Fox News.
