Al Jazeera reports that President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats for threatening his cabinet, donors, and others with impeachment and punishment, days after Democrats won both chambers of Congress in the 2026 midterms, offering no evidence. Trump, who called it extortion on Truth Social, has previously sought probes of James Comey and Letitia James, while Democrats say they will pursue investigations into the Trump family's finances, ICE, Pete Hegseth, and Todd Blanche once they take control in January 2027.
