| [Just The News] New emails released by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley provide further evidence that federal law enforcement and the Justice Department often had a wash, rinse and repeat mindset when it came to investigating President Donald Trump and his political allies. One of those emails, which Grassley released during a committee hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel, shows that one agent sought to open a criminal investigation into tech titan Elon Musk while he led efficiency efforts in the Trump administration last year as a special government employee. According to the agent’s theory, Musk’s effort to get government employees to share their weekly accomplishments in an email "encouraged, abetted, aided, etc. thousands if not tens of thousands of government employees to violate government wide security policy and transmit sensitive government information." "And no, I’m not kidding," the now-former FBI agent Kevin Gounaud wrote in the February 2025 email. Grassley said the new emails he released Tuesday are part of a decade-long pattern of law enforcement and intelligence officials pursuing Trump and his closest allies. "For almost a decade now, I’ve made records public showing how a number of now discredited law enforcement and intelligence officials schemed to take out Trump and other Republicans," the Iowa Republican said in his opening statement. "And here we are, in 2026, still finding records from years ago showing even more evidence of targeting." |
