BREAKING: “THESE SLEAZEBAGS SHOULD GO TO JAIL!” Trump orders investigation of Democrats after his crushing midterm defeat – but Sen. Elissa Slotkin FIRES BACK with a humiliating reminder of his last attempt to silence her!
Donald Trump responded to the Democratic takeover of Congress by demanding that his opponents be thrown in prison – and singling out Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin for particular punishment.
“The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS,” Trump raged on Truth Social Saturday, accusing Democrats of threatening Attorney General Todd Blanche and Republican donors with investigations, impeachment and prosecution.
“By copy [sic] of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!” he declared.
Not satisfied, Trump posted again an hour later.
“These SLEAZEBAGS should go to jail for what they are doing,” he wrote, urging Republicans to report supposed Democratic threats to the Justice Department “IMMEDIATELY!”
And if they preferred, Trump offered to handle their complaints personally.
“If you would like, send them directly to me, your President,” he wrote.
But Slotkin wasn't intimidated. The Michigan senator accused Trump of siccing his newly minted chief of staff Stephen Miller on her, then reminded the president that his Justice Department had already tried and FAILED to indict her.
“Mr. President, your threats of legal action and worse didn't work when you tried to criminally indict me in front of a grand jury last February,” Slotkin fired back.
She also had a message for the administration officials Trump is so anxious to protect:
“If you break the law or use taxpayer dollars to enrich yourself, you should be held accountable. If you didn't break the law, then it's all good.”
After winning both chambers of Congress on Tuesday, Dems are preparing to investigate the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, immigration enforcement and the president's financial dealings. Already, it's considered "extortion" in Trumplandia.
Slotkin had one more suggestion for the president: Instead of threatening Democrats with prison, he could try ending the Iran war, fixing his tariffs and stopping the health care cuts taking effect January 1.
