Main Points
President Donald Trump posted a message on his Truth Social account on Saturday in which he urged the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Todd Blanche, to investigate Democratic Party politicians. Trump alleged that, after the party’s victory in the recent congressional elections, Democrats are “blackmailing” Republican representatives, their allies and supporters. He described the alleged intimidation as occurring at the highest level and said that Democrats are threatening to remove Republicans from office, imprison them and impose other severe penalties on Republican donors and supporters. The DPA agency noted that following the Republicans’ heavy defeat, Trump had initially behaved in a more restrained manner but had since returned to an offensive tone. Trump also questioned the accuracy of the vote count, citing the unresolved outcome of the Alaska Senate race in which Democrat Mary Peltola narrowly leads Republican Dan S. Sullivan. He claimed that Sullivan’s candidacy had been orchestrated by Democrats to confuse voters and urged that Dan S. Sullivan be declared the winner. The Democrats now control both chambers of Congress—the House of Representatives and the Senate—giving them the chairmanship of congressional committees and the authority to summon witnesses and investigate the president and his administration.
