BuzzFeed News reports that Eminem was investigated by The Secret Service for anti-Trump lyrics.
This free-style anti-Trump rap from the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards was cited in the report, as was the 2018 song "Framed":
"Donald Duck’s on as the Tonka Truck in the yard...
But dog, how the fuck is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car?..."
In "The Ringer", Eminem said he was interviewed by The Secret Service:
‘Cause Agent Orange just sent the Secret Service
To meet in person to see if I really think of hurtin’ him
Or ask if I’m linked to terrorists
I said, ‘Only when it comes to ink and lyricists.'

BuzzFeed News' Jason Leopold filed a Freedom of Information Act request to get the documents to verify that Eminem was indeed interviewed for threats against Trump and his daughter Ivanka after being reported by a TMJ staffer.
Who is this TMJ staffer? Why did they report Eminem? Will they suffer consequences for their inappropriate decision?
It is not the role of so-called "journalists" to help the government shut down criticism of the government (i.e. Free Speech protected by the First Amendment.)

I want to say something about George Orwell, Winston Smith, and 1984 but I just can't...
