House Democrat leadership on Tuesday came out swinging, threatening companies and government officials.
House Democrat Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar threatened to go after companies that did business with the Trump Administration.
“Americans sent Democrats to Washington at historic levels so we would help make their lives more affordable,” House Democrat Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar said.
“We are not shy to use accountability,” Aguilar said.
“We’re going to hold the companies, government officials, and Trump admin accountable for making life harder. Our committee chairs will have the tools to investigate corruption,” he said.
WATCH:
Rep. Aguilar’s threats come as incoming Democrat Oversight Chairman Robert Garcia threatened Trump allies.
Garcia also threatened Stephen Miller after he was announced as President Trump’s next White House Chief of Staff.
Garcia labeled Trump’s presidency as “corrupt and lawless” and wrote that Miller was the architect of the “unconstitutional ICE raids.”
“Stephen Miller should lawyer up,” Garcia said.
President Trump on Saturday ordered the Justice Department to investigate “extortionist” Democrats for threatening members of his administration.
“The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the Attorney General of the United States, and others, with Impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so, and there have been no impeachable acts committed, or even thought of, by the victims of this illegal process,” Trump said.
“This is extortion at the highest level, and they should be held accountable for this. Also, they’re threatening our Donors, some of the most respected people anywhere in the World, with imprisonment, and many other levels of punishment, just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters,” Trump said.
“This is Weaponization and Lawfare at another level. The Senator from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin, is saying that she is going to go after all young people that believe in Republican Values, and that give even the slightest inclination to be a Republican. The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS, and Republicans should get smart, fast!” Trump added.
