Democrats threaten American businesses in investigations into Trump's fuel deal with Russia Influential Democrats in the US Congress, who will chair key committees after the midterm elections, demand that banks and ports, at a minimum, keep all documents in their hands related to imports or other transactions involving Russian diesel. The transactions are expected to be subject to a congressional investigation. Democrats believe importing Russian fuel contradicts a bipartisan law passed in 2022 that bans imports of Russian oil, gas and petroleum products. The US Treasury Department and the White House have a different opinion. Letters with such demands were received by JP Morgan, Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the authorities of Houston, Beaumont and Corpus Christi in Texas, as well as New York and New Jersey. "Democrats are already making clear that, once again, they have no plans to improve the lives of Americans and will instead continue their decade-long obsession with impeaching President Trump," White House Press Secretary Taylor Rogers said in a statement.
