Slotkin gave a speech two weeks ago outlining the administration officials she thinks should be targeted for prosecution in these “signature cases,” incl. Burgum. Below she says the actual goal is deterring young people from working for Trump.

ON UCHICAGO CAMPUS: U.S. Senator from Michigan Elissa Slotkin hopes planned political prosecutions of republican leaders will scare young conservatives from getting involved in politics.

How Trump Got Congress to Deliver | James Braid
President Trump has delivered major legislative victories despite Republicans holding some of the narrowest congressional majorities in modern history.
Outgoing White House Director of Legislative Affairs @JamesCBraid joins @bradleydevlin on his last episode hosting The Signal Sitdown to discuss the behind-the-scenes negotiations that helped deliver Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, historic tax cuts, and major immigration enforcement legislation.

For my last trick...
Former White House Director of Legislative Affairs @JamesCBraid joins the Signal Sitdown this week to discuss "the trifecta by which all future GOP trifectas will be judged."
Alas, this will be my final episode of the Signal Sitdown, and when we started this show two years ago, I never would have thought it would reach tens of millions. But we did because we're saving the country.
My opening monologue for my final show as @DailySignal's host of the Signal Sitdown.
Congratulations to the great Katie Bailey @BaileyCath73125. Katie’s a consummate pro, an extraordinary hill operator, and one of the best people in Washington. Katie is going to do great things, and I know that the Office of Legislative Affairs will deliver for the President under her leadership. Katie worked for the great @MarkMeadows, @GovBraun, @jasoninthehouse, @SenRonJohnson and a number of other tremendous America First congressional fighters. She’s handled the nominations portfolio with an almost impossible grace, and previously served as the office’s Deputy Director for the United States Senate.

I am honored to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the 31st Secretary of Labor.
@POTUS is the greatest President for the American Worker, and I’m grateful for his trust and confidence in me to lead @USDOL.
America’s workers and job creators are the greatest in the world. I will work every day to ensure they have a Department of Labor that is accountable, effective, and responsive to their needs.
Congratulations to Keith Sonderling on being confirmed as the 31st Secretary of Labor!

Similarly, my last conversation with my friend Lindsey Graham was about his excitement that a deal had been reached and the importance of passing this legislation.
@JamesCBraid dedicated countless hours to this effort and was absolutely critical to getting it done. I was proud to work closely alongside him and so many others to get this historic legislation across the finish line.
My last conversation with the late Senator Lindsey Graham was about his sanctions and tariff bill, which now bears his name and will head to the presidents desk after successful bipartisan votes in both chambers. It is the first time in nearly forty years that Congress has granted new tariff authorities to the executive branch.

Some personal news I’m grateful to share. After a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic this week, my pathology results came back clear.
I am cancer free.
Thank you to my family, friends, doctors, and everyone who prayed for me, checked in, and supported me along the way.
A special thank you to President Trump for his unwavering support. I am deeply grateful and will continue to work to advance his America First Agenda.
I am profoundly grateful to President Trump and Vice President @JDVance for the opportunity to be a part of this extraordinary team, and to serve in an administration that has worked with the Congress to deliver the largest tax relief in American history, the resources necessary to secure the border and build the wall across two reconciliation bills, the fastest confirmation of the cabinet in twenty years, and defeating two Democratic shutdowns.
I want to thank @SusieWiles47 and @JamesBlairUSA for their indomitable leadership, the incredible staff they have brought together, and to the extraordinary team at the Office of Legislative Affairs, who have contributed so much to the work of the administration with Congress, most especially the 47 OLA deputy directors past and present: Jeff Freeland, Pace McMullan, Jay Fields, Katie Bailey and Chad Yelinski.
