Democrats ask banks and ports to preserve records on Trump's Russian diesel deal

Axios reports that lawmakers asked major banks and port authorities to preserve records tied to potential or actual Russian diesel transactions. Democrats could prioritize an investigation if they regain control of either chamber of Congress. The lawmakers argue that imports could violate a 2022 ban on Russian petroleum products, while the Treasury Department maintains the agreement is legal. Axios says it is unclear whether any Russian diesel will reach U.S. shores.
