Trump asks DOJ to investigate Democrats calling for impeachment of cabinet officials
The Hill reports that President Trump on 7 November 2026 asked the Justice Department to investigate Democrats calling for impeachment of Republican officials, calling it extortion at the highest level, two days after House Democrats backed impeaching Attorney General Todd Blanche and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Democrats won the House and Senate in battleground states, and Rep. Thomas Massie says he plans a vote to impeach Hegseth.
