Rep. Don Beyer, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Virginia's 8th district since 2015, recently expressed his views on social media regarding legal authority and political actions. His posts address significant political concerns involving high-profile figures and alleged misconduct in government operations.
On February 13, 2025, Rep. Don Beyer commented on the potential legal implications if influential figures like Musk and Trump had the power to dismantle agencies established by Congress. He stated: "If Musk and Trump had the legal authority to destroy agencies authorized and funded by Congress there would be no reason for this bill." He further asserted that such actions are not legally permissible, adding that even those supporting them are aware of this fact.
The following day, on February 14, 2025, Beyer referenced Hagan Scotten’s resignation letter while discussing a decision involving Eric Adams. He remarked: "Hagan Scotten’s resignation letter says it all. Dropping the charges against Eric Adams to turn the Mayor of New York into a lackey of the President is a staggeringly corrupt perversion of justice and democracy." This statement highlights his concerns about perceived corruption within political maneuvers affecting democratic principles.
