Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) posted a letter he received from U.S. Attorney Edward Martin on Department of Justice letterhead asking about his attacks on Elon Musk.
"As a United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, I receive requests for information and clarification. I take these requests seriously and act on them with letters like this one you are receiving," Martin began, not indicating who sent him the "requests."
"At this time, I respectfully request that you clarify your comments from February 12, 2025. During a live interview with CNN, when asked how Democrats can stop Elon Musk, you spoke clearly: 'What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy,'" the letter continued.
Musk has been working as a "special government employee" for President Donald Trump in an ongoing effort to slash government programs by claiming there's "waste, fraud and abuse" in the agencies and departments. They have not been able to specifically cite where that waste, fraud or abuse is, according to a Rolling Stone report.
