Trump accuses the new Democratic majority in Congress of extortion over impeachment threats
U.S. President Donald Trump accused the new Democratic majority in Congress of engaging in extortion by threatening to push for impeachment proceedings against administration officials. The statements come following the midterm elections in which the Democratic opposition assumed control of both legislative chambers.
Through his digital platform, the president maintained that Democrats are threatening various government figures, including Attorney General Todd Blanche, with removal proceedings and other punitive measures despite lacking legitimate grounds.
Meanwhile, the Democrats, who will take office in January after winning the midterm elections, have stated their intention to investigate alleged acts of corruption by the current administration.
