Donald Trump has made it crystal clear. He is seeking retaliation against Republicans who voted to sue him.
As the only president ever, Donald Trump was put on trial for the second time in February this year, but even then he was acquitted.
A total of ten people in the House of Representatives still voted to put Trump on trial. In addition, seven Republican senators voted to convict him.

One of those who voted to put Trump on trial is Republican Congressman Anthony Gonzalez.
Now Gonzalez and nine other Republicans who voted against Trump are being criticized for defying the former president.
The Republican Party in the state of Ohio came on Friday with a formal reprimand of Gonzalez after he voted to put Trump on trial.
It writes a number of media, including the news agency A.P.
“Traitor”
Furious: – Deprived of freedom of speech
Gonzalez was also asked to resign from his seat in the House of Representatives.
After Gonzalez voted to field his then president, he was called both a “traitor” and a “Republican” in quotation marks by his own party colleagues, according to the AP.
Several US media outlets have asked Gonzalez and his office for comment, but the congressional representative has not commented on the matter so far.
Despite receiving massive criticism from his own party colleagues, Gonzalez has stood by his decision all the way, according to the news agency.

Several Republicans have been hard hit in their own party since opposing Donald Trump.
The former president has also announced that he will campaign against several of those who opposed him.
Among other things, he has shown his support for Max Miller, who is running against the aforementioned Anthony Gonzalez in Ohio next year.
– Max Miller is a brilliant person who has done a good job in the White House. Current congressman Anthony Gonzalez should not represent voters in the 16th district because he does not represent their interests, Trump has said.
– Disloyal and bad
– Poison our democratic system
Trump has also announced that he will campaign against Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski.
She is a longtime Trump critic who also voted to overthrow the former president during the trial against him.
– I will not under any circumstances approve the failed candidate from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski. She represents the state poorly and the country even worse. I do not know where others will be next year, but I know where I want to be – in Alaska to campaign against a disloyal and very bad senator, Trump said in a statement to Politico in March.
