In a report published November 13, 2026, The Paper said U.S. President Donald Trump posted a series of messages on November 12 accusing Democrats of corruption and urging Republicans to “fight hard.”
Trump singled out Democratic-led states including California, Minnesota and Illinois, alleging mismanagement, widespread corruption and the theft of large sums of money each month. He said he had asked Vice President JD Vance to focus entirely on investigating what he described as large-scale corruption and crime in Democratic-led areas. The allegations were presented as Trump’s claims, not established findings.
Trump also accused Democrats of making false allegations against Republicans and said they were trying to divert attention from his claims about Democratic-led states. According to The Paper, Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress from Republicans in the November 3 U.S. midterm elections. The report said Democrats planned, after the new Congress took office, to investigate Trump’s real estate projects in the Washington area and his cryptocurrency transactions.
