CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins has sounded the alarm on a new post-midterms threat from the White House.

On Wednesday, White House counsel Will Scharf sent a letter to incoming House Oversight Committee chair Robert Garcia to warn about potential Democratic investigations, saying they may amount to “blatant criminality.”

The investigations flagged in the letter, obtained by Punchbowl News, involve congressional Democrats the White House claims will issue subpoenas to “harass, threaten and deter” Trump administration officials from carrying out their duties, as well as potentially targeting the president’s family.

In a statement following the midterms, Garcia warned the Trump administration: “Lawyer up.”

Speaking on Anderson Cooper 360° on Wednesday, Collins said the response from Trump’s team was “a signal” of how the administration will operate with Democrats from January.

Collins noted that it remained unclear if Democrats would pursue criminal cases against Republicans, or indeed “what exactly the crime would be.”

Collins referenced Trump’s furious Saturday Truth Social post, saying the Democrats were “threatening a lot of people” including Attorney General Todd Blanche, “with Impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so.” He claimed the alleged threats were “extortion at the highest level.”

The CNN anchor said the letter to Garcia, which was dated Monday, Nov. 9, but released on Wednesday, follows Trump being “angry last week,” and noted, “He got angrier by the day after the midterms.”

She warned that the explosive tone of the letter is “a signal of how the administration plans to handle this, come January.”
