Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts claimed Wednesday that if former President Donald Trump is re-elected, his Department of Justice would go on a “murdering spree.” Pressley made the speculations about political violence at a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing on the Office of Personnel Management. She criticized a Heritage Foundation policy roadmap for a future Republican president, Project 2025, as a “pathway” to “wholesale policy violence.” Pressley alleged that under another Trump presidency, the Department of Justice would perpetrate a “murdering spree” via abuse of capital punishment. Fox News Digital reached out to the Trump campaign and the Heritage Foundation for reaction to the representative’s comments.
