He accused Democrats of threatening to impeach U.S. Attorney General and other officials, and claimed that Democrats themselves admitted to lacking relevant reasons.Trump stated that Democrats also threatened Republican donors, warning of imprisonment and other punishments solely because they are Republicans or supporters of the Republican Party. He referred to these actions as "the highest level of extortion" and demanded accountability from those involved.Trump specifically named Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, claiming she threatened to pursue young people who identify with Republican values, as well as anyone who shows even a slight tendency to support the Republican Party.

On September 15, local time, U.S. Congressman Thomas Massie submitted articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, accusing him of abusing his power by ordering hostile military action against Iran without congressional approval.This impeachment resolution has little chance of passing, but Massie's move may force the House of Representatives to hold a vote on the matter. Massie submitted the articles of impeachment under privileged motion procedures, meaning the House must consider the impeachment within two legislative workdays and cannot postpone or delay it.
