## Summary

President Donald Trump’s administration is renewing legal threats against Democratic members of Congress, including some who have criticised him or plan to investigate his government. The threats raise concerns that criminal investigations could be used to discourage congressional oversight and political speech.

Trump called for a renewed attempt to prosecute six lawmakers over a video urging military and intelligence personnel not to follow illegal orders; an earlier grand jury effort reportedly failed. Officials have also warned that oversight work could cross into criminality, while a Texas prosecutor has raised possible charges against Senators Richard Blumenthal, Elissa Slotkin and Elizabeth Warren. Other cases include Brad Lander’s acquittal, Adam Schiff facing no charges over mortgage allegations, and Lamonica McIver currently facing charges; federal agents also searched Representative Ilhan Omar’s home in October.
