U.S. attorney threatens Democratic senator with prosecution for conducting oversight
Democracy Docket reports that U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz threatened Sen. Richard Blumenthal with legal action and ordered him to preserve documents by Nov. 18, after Blumenthal led an investigation into donors to President Trump's ballroom and related family business deals. The outlet calls the letter a significant escalation of the White House's threats to prosecute Democrats carrying out constitutionally protected oversight.
