Gallego and Blumenthal Call for Investigation
Senators Ruben Gallego and Richard Blumenthal request an investigation into potential interference by Trump administration appointees in a DOJ investigation
Senators Ruben Gallego and Richard Blumenthal are calling for an investigation into reports of potential interference by Trump administration political appointees in a Department of Justice investigation, as stated on Senator Ruben Gallego's official website. The investigation in question involves a potentially corrupt clemency scheme, and the senators have written to Acting Inspector General Sean O’Neill to request an inquiry. This development comes as the Department of Justice faces scrutiny over various issues, including the handling of certain cases, as seen in the live blog updates on the Trump administration at nbcnews.com. The call for investigation also follows other recent news on government accountability, such as the whistleblower allegations of DEA allowing fentanyl trafficking and Grassley's release of documents on the Jack Smith probe.
