Trump orders DOJ to investigate Democrats for ‘threatening’ people
Trump lashed out at Democrats on Truth Social days after the party won control of Congress.
What the coverage shows
The three U.S. outlets all frame the item around Trump pressing the Justice Department to look into Democrats, while France 24 is the outlier, leading instead with Democrats’ own plans to investigate Trump. Fox News uniquely foregrounds alleged threats against administration officials and Republican donors, and Newsweek alone names Sen. Elissa Slotkin in its extract. The Washington Post and Newsweek keep the focus on the DOJ investigation call itself, with the Post adding that Democrats have pledged broad investigations of Trump’s second administration.
