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

This resolution gives official authorization for the Senate Legal Counsel to represent Senator Marsha Blackburn and Senator Ben Ray Luján in a civil court case, *Federal Trade Commission v. Key Investment Group, LLC, et al.* (Case No. 1:25-cv-02716), currently before the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. The authorization was triggered because the defendants in that lawsuit issued subpoenas requiring the two senators to produce documents related to their official duties.

* **Senator Marsha Blackburn and Senator Ben Ray Luján**, who received subpoenas for documents. * **The Senate Legal Counsel**, who is permitted to act as legal representation for the senators regarding these subpoenas. * **The parties involved in the lawsuit** (*Federal Trade Commission v. Key Investment Group, LLC, et al.*).

* The Senate Legal Counsel would officially take on the role of representing the senators to respond to the subpoenas. * The legal representation and handling of Senate records will follow existing rules under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, Senate privileges, and Rule XI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, which regulate how Senate evidence and official documents can be released.

The provided summary does not contain information about spending, taxes, fees, or funding allocations.

* The scope of the representation is limited specifically to the subpoenas issued in this specific federal civil case. * The summary does not specify whether the senators will ultimately be required to produce the requested documents; that remains governed by Senate rules, legal privileges, and court proceedings.

This resolution simply permits official Senate attorneys to represent two U.S. senators who were subpoenaed for documents in an ongoing Federal Trade Commission lawsuit.
