Richard Blumenthal: “I would not be intimidated.”

I’m so proud to be your United States senator. Democracy is a fight. I am glad to be in this fight.

I accordingly direct you to preserve all records and correspondence, including all communications with the White House or senior officials at the Department of Justice, related to the decision to draft and post your letter.
