Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) vowed Thursday to continue investigating corporate donors to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom after a top Justice Department official accused him of intimidating Americans who support the president.
Blumenthal, the incoming chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, pushed back against a warning from Aaron Reitz, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Texas, calling it an attempt by the Trump administration to discourage lawmakers from conducting constitutionally protected oversight.
