Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-NY) and Congressman Gregory Meeks both sent letters to Rubio last week with a detailed list of questions they want the Secretary of State to answer.

The letters concern a Biden -era State Department contract for armored Teslas that, if fulfilled, would have enriched the Elon Musk-owned company to the tune of $400 million .

NPR screenshots show the Department edited the procurement forecast documents to remove any specific mention of Tesla but did not immediately remove the project itself.

The very real graft and corruption perpetrated by Musk and other Trump associates is out in the open, Meeks says.

Meeks: State told me that writing âTeslaâ in that space was a clerical error.
