Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin is seeking reassurances from the Trump administration’s spy chiefs that they’re not targeting American citizens for domestic political purposes.

In a letter to CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, among others, Slotkin expressed concern about a presidential directive on domestic terrorism and government working groups she says target current and former officials who the president asserts have wronged him.
