Democratic Lawmakers File Police Complaints After Trump's Posts Accuse Them of "Seditious Behavior"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several Democratic lawmakers have filed police complaints after
President Trump called for them to be put to death for what he called
"seditious behavior." Trump's threat came after six lawmakers - who are
veterans of the military or CIA - called on active-duty service members
to refuse illegal orders. Congressmembers Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio and
Chrissy Houlahan told the U.S. Capitol Police that Trump's call for
their execution has undermined their personal safety while putting the
lives of congressional staffers at risk. Crow released audio of death
threats phoned into his offices, while Deluzio reported his
congressional offices in western Pennsylvania received bomb threats. On
Friday, Trump doubled down on his threats, accusing the Democrats of
"SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL."
