House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed on Thursday to go after members of President Donald Trump\u2019s administration \u2014 essentially weaponizing the government against political opponents \u2014 while at the same time complaining that Trump was doing exactly that.<\/p>\n

Speaking to left-wing MSNBC host Chris Hayes, Jeffries complained about the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s ruling last year upholding a key aspect of the Constitution\u2019s provision granting presidents wide immunity from legal actions taken while in office.<\/p>\n

But he then threatened to move against Trump administration officials if Democrats take power again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many corrupt sycophants within the Trump administration, including but not limited to, within the Department of Justice. Now these people don\u2019t have immunity, and the reality is, the statute of limitations is five years. And there will be accountability with the next administration if not before, when Democrats take back control of the House of Representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n
