Outcry after Trump urges Justice Department to charge his enemies

Top Democratic leaders on Sunday warned that President Donald Trump's drive to go after his political opponents is putting America on a path to becoming a dictatorship and a "banana republic."

These dramatic statements came a day after Trump's public call for the Justice Department to take action against perceived enemies and after prominent late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was yanked off the air, following a threat from regulators loyal to Trump -- among other aggressive Trump behavior that critics have described as authoritarian.

Turning the Justice Department "into an instrument that goes after his enemies, whether they're guilty or not... is the path to a dictatorship," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Schumer said on CNN. "That's what dictatorships do."

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, meanwhile, suggested that the United States was turning into a "banana republic."
