Donald Trump has called for investigations into his former first-term White House aides Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, accusing them of 'treason', in an unusual move for a former US president

Trump has signed directives asking the Justice Department to investigate two former associates, Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, whom he considers political enemies. This is a breach of the separation rules between the White House and the Justice Department, which is supposed to operate independently of political influence. Critics say Trump's actions reflect a retaliatory campaign against those who have challenged him. Taylor reacted, anticipating Trump's behavior.
