Statement summary
Richard Blumenthal raises concerns about undisclosed ballroom donors and seeks records about solicitations, promised benefits and contacts with the administration.
“The aggressive fundraising push by the President’s advisors suggests possible conflicts of interest and even corruption, and raises questions that Americans deserve to have answered.”
Blumenthal seeks records and identifies possible conflicts; he does not present a proven quid pro quo.
The reference is private funding of the ballroom by parties with government interests. Blumenthal criticizes the arrangement as presenting possible conflicts, without declaring corruption proved.
