Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., has demanded unredacted copies of White House officials' correspondence with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that refer to Vice President Kamala Harris as the 'border czar.' Gaetz set a deadline of August 30 for the release of these documents, citing concerns over potential cover-up and ethical violations.
According to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the Heritage Oversight Project, White House official Ian Sams allegedly intervened to prevent the release of the requested documents. Gaetz has raised suspicions about Sams' actions, suggesting they may have violated the Hatch Act and other ethics rules.
