US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyA Texas-based U.S. attorney has demanded that Sen. Richard Blumenthal preserve records from his probe of donors to the White House ballroom, warning of legal fallout if he refuses.
Aaron Reitz argues the inquiry harasses citizens, and he posted the letter on X. Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter backed him, citing First Amendment protections for speech and association.
Blumenthal, the top Democrat on the relevant subcommittee, said the letter won't stop him. He sent back his own demand that Reitz preserve his records, including those tied to writing the letter.
