AG Blanche: "No ongoing" criminal investigations into incoming Democrats' oversight warnings; "That is not a crime to say that"
Attorney General Todd Blanche said Thursday the Justice Department has no criminal investigations into what incoming senators or House members have said about scrutinizing the Trump administration, telling reporters, "That is not a crime to say that," the Washington Examiner reported. He did not say whether department headquarters approved a U.S. attorney's letter directing Sen. Richard Blumenthal to preserve records from his probe of White House ballroom donors, or whether Blumenthal is under investigation.
