President Donald Trump said Saturday that he was ordering the Justice Department to investigate Democratic leaders over what he described as threats against Republican officials, donors and supporters, without identifying the alleged communications or providing evidence of criminal conduct.
"The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the Attorney General of the United States, and others, with Impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so," Trump said in a Truth Social post.
The alleged threats, the president said, are "extortion at the highest level," he wrote. "I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!"
