US-Justizministerium will Klage zu Kaliforniens Wahl zurückziehen +++ Houston schränkt Zusammenarbeit mit US-Einwanderungsbehörde ein +++ Der Newsblog.
U.S. President Donald Trump has instructed the Justice Department to investigate Democrats over alleged threats, writing on social media that they threatened "many people". Trump called this a "criminal action" without providing evidence. He accused Democrats of sending "threat letters to many innocent people." The Democratic candidates had decisively defeated President Trump's Republican counterparts in the midterms, taking control of Congress as of January.
The party leadership announced plans to assert congressional oversight over the executive branch after taking power, holding hearings and investigating the actions of the Trump administration. Democrat Nancy Lacore won a U.S. House seat in South Carolina's first congressional district, beating Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt, a lawyer and Charleston County supervisor.
Lacore succeeded Republican Nancy Mace, who relinquished her governorship seat after an unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign. Former Vice Admiral Lacore led the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve until Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth abruptly dismissed her last year without justification. Her dismissal was part of a series of actions against senior military personnel during President Trump's second term.
