Overview

• On Truth Social, Trump labeled Blumenthal "Da Nang Dick," called him a "fraud," said he should "no longer" be allowed to speak, and urged an investigation, writing that "justice should be sought."
• The demand followed a Senate Judiciary Committee confrontation in which Attorney General Pam Bondi accused the Connecticut senator of lying about his military record.
• During the hearing, Blumenthal pressed Bondi about ties to her former firm Ballard Partners and about the president’s public push to indict former FBI Director James Comey.
• No federal investigation into Blumenthal has been announced as of the latest reporting.
• Blumenthal’s 2010 clarification that he was never deployed to Vietnam resurfaced as Trump compared him to George Santos for alleged falsehoods.
