Congressman Lance Gooden Calls for Investigation into DOJ’s Selective Prosecution of Adani Group

Congressman Lance Gooden (R-TX), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, today called for the preservation of records pertaining to the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) selective prosecution of The Adani Group.

In an earlier letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Congressman Gooden raised serious concerns over the DoJ’s recent indictment of the Adani Group. The indictment alleged acts conducted entirely within India, involving Indian citizens and officials, with no apparent injur y to U.S. interests.

Congressman Gooden is following up on his previous inquiry to outgoing Attorney General Merrick Garland by demanding that the DoJ preserve and produce all records and documents leading up to the DOJ’s decision to go after the Adani Group.

“The Department of Justice’s actions risk damaging critical alliances with key partners like India, one of America’s strongest allies in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Congressman Gooden. “Instead of pursuing cases with tenuous jurisdiction and limited relevance to U.S. interests, the DOJ should focus on holding domestic bad actors accountable— starting with those who threaten our electoral process and national security. I am calling for all records and documents pertaining to this investigation to be preserved so that the incoming Administration can shine light on this selective prosecution.”
