US President Donald Trump suggested that Americans send him personally information about alleged threats from the Democratic Party against members and donors of the Republican Party. He published the appeal on the social network Truth Social, Life.ru reports.
Contents of the statement
“The threats that the Democratic Party is directing at innocent Republican donors and party members are absolutely unprecedented and completely unlawful. Please report them to the Department of Justice immediately! If you wish, send them directly to me, your President,” Trump wrote. He also urged that such cases be reported to the Department of Justice without delay.
Demands to the authorities
The American leader stated that representatives of the Democratic Party should face criminal liability for the alleged intimidation of political opponents. He demanded that the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Department of Justice take measures to put an end to such practices.
Context: investigations after the midterm elections
Earlier Life.ru reported that the Democrats were preparing sweeping investigations against Trump and his circle: after winning the midterm elections, the Democratic Party intends to examine the administration's activities, the business ties of his family, and the operations of several major companies. According to the outlet, entrepreneur Elon Musk and White House staff could also come under lawmakers' scrutiny. The outlet does not directly link Trump's appeal to these plans — the publication does not report on the motives behind the statement.
