President Donald Trump went on the attack Saturday following the shellacking of Republicans in the midterms.
The shocking electoral defeat resulted in the immediate shakeup of some administration staff, including the appointment of Stephen Miller as chief of staff. The move comes as newly emboldened Democrats double down on their threats to target the administration with impeachment and investigation efforts in the final 2 years of Trump’s presidency.
Saturday morning, Trump jumped on Truth Social to rail against the targeting and order the Department of Justice to “look into” the situation.

“The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the Attorney General of the United States, and others, with Impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so, and there have been no impeachable acts committed, or even thought of, by the victims of this illegal process,” he wrote. “This is extortion at the highest level, and they should be held accountable for this. Also, they’re threatening our Donors, some of the most respected people anywhere in the World, with imprisonment, and many other levels of punishment, just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters.”
“This is Weaponization and Lawfare at another level. The Senator from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin, is saying that she is going to go after all young people that believe in Republican Values, and that give even the slightest inclination to be a Republican. The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS, and Republicans should get smart, fast! Threatening letters have been sent to many people, all innocent, from Democrat Political Leaders. By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!” Trump added.
In a follow-up post, he encouraged his supporters to report any such “threats” to the DOJ or himself.

“The threats being made by the Democrat Party against innocent Republican Donors and Party Members are absolutely unprecedented, and totally illegal. Please report them to the Department of Justice, IMMEDIATELY! If you would like, send them directly to me, your President. These SLEAZEBAGS should go to jail for what they are doing. The Senate must act, and stop being pushed around to the point of the Republican Party losing Elections, and worse! Likewise, the DOJ and House of Representatives. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he said.
