A potential criminal matter involving Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton has been referred by the agency’s inspector general to the Department of Justice, according to an email obtained by CQ Roll Call and sources familiar with the matter.
The scope of the referral is unclear, as is what prompted it.
In June 2021, CQ Roll Call reported that Blanton was investigated by the agency’s inspector general for allegedly misusing his official government car, a black Ford Explorer.
