I can’t believe Maria Bartiromo is no longer going to have her great show(s) on FoxNews/Business. Three different shows, always number one. Maria is a total professional, and a true warrior. Her fans, of which there are many, will not be happy. God bless you, Maria! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Justice Department is being asked to investigate whether sensitive state voter data — including Social Security and driver's license numbers — was transferred to a nonprofit tied to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in violation of federal privacy laws, according to a letter from Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin released Friday by the White House.
The Department of Homeland Security first brought its concerns to the Justice Department in September 2025, Secretary Mullin wrote to Attorney General Todd Blanche in a letter dated Wednesday. It is unclear what the Justice Department did with the original information.
The new letter sent this week outlines what the agency believes is a possible violation of the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act by the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a nonprofit organization that helps states maintain the integrity of their voter rolls.
Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia are members of ERIC, which Mullin's letter stated contests that it did anything wrong.
The problem, Mullin wrote, is that ERIC "exposes millions of citizens’ sensitive private data to unknown contractors, subcontractors and agents of ERIC–potentially in violation of the DPPA.”
According to Mullin, ERIC “lobbies states to sign a contract that requires the disclosure of the private data of individuals who were not registered to vote and therefore certainly could not be in need of voter list maintenance. The data fields disclosed include Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers.”
Later, ERIC turned over such sensitive data to at least one nonprofit organization, the Center for Election Innovation and Research – which has received millions in funding from a foundation founded by Priscilla Chan Zuckerberg, the wife of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and has provided grants to state election officials who agreed to turn over the data.
ERIC and CEIR were both founded and organized by David Becker, a former government lawyer who later became a director for the progressive People for the American Way.
