Senator Elissa Slotkin has stated her intention to use government resources against young Americans employed in the Trump administration. This declaration was made on Monday, October 26, 2026.

Slotkin has encountered significant backlash for her threat to prosecute Trump's current staff, aiming to discourage young graduates from joining the administration.

Slotkin justified her statement by referencing Trump's decision to investigate and attempt to indict her for alleged sedition in November 2025.

Slotkin defended her earlier threat, stating that Trump directed the DOJ and FBI to investigate her, and attempted to criminally charge her for a 90-second video that she claims exercised free speech.
