MAGA world erupted Sunday after a Trump-appointed federal prosecutor took aim at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), warning her against using congressional investigations to target President Donald Trump’s associates.
U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz accused Warren of preparing to abuse her oversight powers and issued a formal demand that she preserve records related to her planned investigations.
“@SenWarren is on the warpath to wield her committee gavel like a tomahawk, seeking the scalps of those who associate ‘too closely’ with President Trump,” Reitz wrote on social media.
“My first arrow shot,” he added.
In his two-page letter, Reitz cited Warren’s recent remarks on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” where she discussed investigating corporate executives who may have broken the law.
The top Trump prosecutor warned that failure to preserve relevant communications could result in penalties and “may carry significant legal consequences.”
While Trump allies quickly celebrated the move, legal experts delivered Reitz a reality check.
“Finally, somebody who fights back instead of folding,” MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman posted on X.
Conservative commentator and media personality Benny Johnson declared it was “time to go on offense against these people,” while White House communications director Steven Cheung accused Democrats of embarking on a “witch hunt.”
Trump War Room, the president’s political operation, praised Reitz post, writing “10/10 post. No notes.”
But the warning also drew sharp criticism.
Politico legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney cited the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause, which protects lawmakers from executive branch interference with legitimate legislative activities.
“Safe to say no prosecution could ever be brought that centers on committee chairs investigating too aggressively in the eyes of a U.S. attorney,” Cheney wrote on X.
Former White House ethics lawyer Norm Eisen delivered his own rebuke.
“Try looking in the mirror,” Eisen wrote. “Then try staying in your own lane. Then resign before you lose your license to practice law.”
