Blanche declines to rule out prosecuting Democrats over threats to investigate Trump officials
Attorney General Todd Blanche declined to rule out prosecuting Democratic lawmakers who say they will investigate Trump administration officials, a day after President Trump ordered the Justice Department to examine lawmakers. Blanche did not identify a criminal statute or confirm an investigation had begun, and said possible imprisonment depended on crimes committed. Incoming House Oversight Committee Chair Robert Garcia accused Blanche of trying to intimidate Congress and said Democrats would not back down.
