Senator Richard Blumenthal is threatening subpoenas for donors of President Trump's White House ballroom over alleged conflicts of interest.

The senator, who will chair the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations when the 120th Congress convenes in January, sent nearly 60 letters last week to major donors including Amazon, Apple, BlackRock, Google, Lockheed Martin, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Palantir, demanding that they produce records of their gifts by Jan. 4 or face subpoenas.
