Trump urges Justice Department to investigate incoming Democratic lawmakers
President Donald Trump has called for the Justice Department to investigate Democratic lawmakers who plan to scrutinise his administration, accusing them of threatening officials and warning they could face prison. The threats come after Democrats won the midterm elections and are preparing to take control of the House, raising concerns about whether investigations and prosecutions could be used to retaliate against political opponents.

White House counsel Will Scharf warned Garcia that investigations must have a legitimate purpose, while Attorney General Todd Blanche said any response would depend on what Democrats say. The article also reports that Stephen Miller and Russ Vought are preparing executive actions to advance the administration’s agenda without Congress.
