Trump says he ordered the Department of Justice to thoroughly investigate Democratic “extortion.”

Jin10.com cited a post by Donald Trump on social media: “The President has directed the Department of Justice to immediately launch an investigation into these actions.” Trump accused Democrats of threatening to impeach officials—including the Attorney General—while conceding he lacked legitimate grounds for such claims. He also alleged that Democrats openly threatened Republican donors, vowing to imprison them solely for being Republicans or supporting the Republican Party. He labeled such conduct “the highest level of extortion” and stressed that those involved must be held accountable. Trump specifically named Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, citing her public statement that she intends to target young people who align with Republican values—or even anyone who displays the faintest Republican leanings. He urged Republicans to act immediately and declared that—according to him—the real people who belong in prison are the “extortionists.”
