Democratic senator demands tech firms, FCC chair turn over documents

WASHINGTON: The top Democrat on the Senate investigative panel demanded on Thursday the head of the Federal Communications Commission and tech companies that donated to President Donald Trump’s ballroom voluntarily turn over documents or face possible subpoenas in January.

Senator Richard Blumenthal, who is set to take over as chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, called on Apple , Meta, Google, Nvidia, Amazon.com, Microsoft and others who donated to the ballroom project to turn over records, as he sent warnings to targets of a number of different probes.
