Several Democratic lawmakers have been seeking police action since Friday, after US President Donald Trump said that they should be arrested and potentially punished by death for encouraging the American military to disobey orders from the White House.
Soon after Trump made the threat online, at least two lawmakers, Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colorado) and Chris Deluzio (D-Pennsylvania) have requested the US Capitol police to investigate the “intimidating, threatening, and concerning” posts made by Trump, Axios reported.
On Friday, Deluzio spokeswoman Zoe Bluffstone confirmed that his office has also reported to the Capitol Police using the same language as in the letter from Crow’s office. Meanwhile, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pennsylvania) said on the same day that her office had filed a complaint about Trump’s threat.
