Summary
Rep. Jared Huffman sent preservation letters to 27 private companies and nine federal agencies, demanding they halt deletion practices and confirm compliance in coming weeks as Democrats prepare oversight probes.
The targets sketch the likely scope of the investigation: Chevron and ExxonMobil, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, Mastercard and SoftBank, plus firms including Oracle, Palantir, TikTok, UnitedHealth and United Airlines.
Huffman framed the move as a response to two years of administration stonewalling, telling recipients to “save everything” so investigators can examine how government actions and money were handled.
Twenty-one of the companies are listed as sponsors of Trump’s Freedom 250 group, which is planning the nation’s 250th-birthday celebrations; Chevron, United Airlines and RTX alone disclosed $9 million in contributions.
