A resolution to authorize representation by the Senate Legal Counsel in Federal Trade Commission v. Key Investment Group, LLC, et al.

This resolution authorizes the Senate Legal Counsel to represent Senator Marsha Blackburn and Senator Ben Ray Lujan. The representation is necessitated by subpoenas for documents issued to both senators in the case of Federal Trade Commission v. Key Investment Group, LLC, et al., which is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The Senate's authority for this action stems from the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 , which permits its counsel to represent current or former Members regarding subpoenas related to their official duties. Additionally, the resolution invokes the privileges of the Senate and Rule XI of its Standing Rules, asserting that evidence under Senate control cannot be released without its express permission. Therefore, the resolution formally grants the necessary authorization for legal representation in this specific matter.
