Trump calls for DOJ investigation into Democratic calls for oversight
In a POLITICO article, President Donald Trump says he has ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democratic "threats" against Republicans after the GOP's midterm defeat, accusing Sen. Elissa Slotkin and others of extortion and sedition and urging Republicans to report the threats to him. Democrats, including Sen. Richard Blumenthal, are preparing oversight investigations of the administration, and POLITICO judges Trump's extortion characterization a misrepresentation of what lawmakers said.
