This is deeply concerning.\n\nTrump\u2019s DOJ has become his own personal law firm, with his former personal attorney carrying out vendettas on Trump\u2019s political enemies. They have politically investigated multiple states\u2019 Attorneys General and the former FBI director. Now they admit they have surveilled conversations by a sitting Democratic Congressman.\n\nThe timing of this wiretap and investigation is extremely suspicious. The tap took place between March and May, which was at the peak of campaigning for the redistricting referendum in Virginia. This was also while the Oversight Committee was calling on Pam Bondi to testify on the Epstein investigation. This should concern anyone who believes in a real Department of Justice that serves the American people and not a singular president.\n\nIf this surveillance was done to scare us and to get Democrats to stop pushing back against Trump\u2019s political overreach, they are mistaken. We will not back down. We will continue our investigations into this President and his corrupt administration.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-04T09:19:37Z", "2026-09-04T09:20:58Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://subramanyam.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-subramanyams-statement-fbi-monitoring"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8557741530239582, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
