Trump Accused Of Retaliation Against Political Opponents

In a post on X, Pritzker directly accused Trump of abusing power in response to political losses.

He wrote, "When Donald Trump feels like he’s not winning, he will break the law to go after those he thinks are his political enemies or who are defeating him in court and at the ballot box."

White House did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comments.
