Democrats in Washington say they’re launching an investigation into the Trump administration and its links to the Ambassador Bridge’s owner after the U.S. president threatened to block the opening of the competing Gordie Howe International Bridge earlier this week.
The top Democrat on the House oversight committee has requested that the administration turn over a wide range of records related to the new bridge, as well as any communications with Matthew Moroun.
The bridges, which are within about five kilometres of each other, link Windsor, Ont., to Detroit.
“It appears that you have chosen to protect a politically connected billionaire donor family at the expense of promoting American commerce,” California Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s ranking member, wrote in a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick this week.
This is good news but unless they do anything with the finding this is performative, as most everything is by the Democrats. They need to grow some balls, use the power they have and not be afraid of the tyrannical child emperor.
