President Donald Trump is threatening Democratic lawmakers who plan to launch investigations into his administration with prosecutions and jail time.

Just days after Democrats won the midterm elections in a landslide, Trump ordered the Department of Justice (DOJ) to probe liberal lawmakers he accused of threatening officials in his administration.

‘The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS,’ he posted on social media on Saturday, referencing Democratic lawmakers without offering any evidence of a crime, but claiming one existed.

'Threatening letters have been sent to many people, all innocent, from Democrat Political Leaders. By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!'

Privately, the mood within the White House is defiant, and officials within the West Wing are practically daring Democrats to come after them, so they can return fire.

'If crazed Democrats want to abuse their power and politicize their process of investigations, subpoenas, and destroying lives, they should be reminded that we still control the federal government and all of its powers,' a White House official told the Daily Mail.

But publicly, the administration is offering an olive branch across the aisle, even if it may only be lip service.

'As the President has said, he's willing to work with anyone to continue delivering victories for hardworking Americans,' said White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis. 'If Democrats choose to pursue sham investigations and radical left policies, they are choosing to work against the American people.'
