House Democrats blast Trump team for turning US into 'gangster state' [View all]
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Jasmine Crockett of Texas condemned President Donald Trump’s use of federal law enforcement to protect Elon Musk, while attempting to intimidate his political detractors.
Raskin took aim at FBI Director Kash Patel’s lack of concern about the world’s wealthiest man.
“What else is the FBI not investigating? Elon Musk,” he said, pointing to Musk’s troubling ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Musk has met with high-level CCP officials during his multiple trips to China and has had access to sensitive government databases.
