President Donald Trump lost it at Democrats Thursday, lashing out at them for “illegally threatening Republicans with knowingly false accusations and charges.”
His accusation came just days after his own White House threatened Democrats with potential criminal charges over their planned corruption investigations.
“Now, in order to deflect from MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION & CRIME, they are at it again, illegally threatening Republicans with knowingly false accusations and charges," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
"Other than cheating, this is how they won the Midterms - But we won’t let our Country go to hell!” There is no evidence Democrats cheated in last week’s midterms.
White House counsel Will Scharf sent a letter to Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), who is poised to take the Oversight gavel in January, warning that investigations into the administration “may cross the line into blatant criminality.” The letter was dated Monday and made public Wednesday.
Garcia brushed off the warning, calling it “kind of embarrassing” and telling Punchbowl News the White House is “clearly scared and nervous.”
Trump also revived his grievance over his tax returns, claiming the Democrats’ accountants “FOUND NOTHING except that I paid my taxes and did everything right.” The House Ways and Means Committee obtained the returns after the Supreme Court cleared their release in 2022, and it found the IRS had failed to audit Trump as required during his first years in office.
