Martin responded: “Received. Thank you.”

It remains unclear whether Martin, who left the Trump administration in September, followed up with Irving. Neither he nor Irving could be reached for this story. It’s also unclear whether anyone from Blanche’s office responded to Irving’s email.

But in May 2026, Ogles’ legal team filed a motion indicating that government lawyers from the DOJ’s criminal division informed them they would return his cell phone and destroy emails obtained through search warrants, effectively signaling the end of the investigation.

“It’s a warning to the American people that it matters who leads,” Ogles said during a press conference after the Department of Justice dropped the investigation, while standing alongside a placard reading, “Weaponized and Wiretapped: Real Stories, Real Corruption.”

Kids in a candy store with everything opened up and no supervision. It would be a shock to not see corruption when they were given the keys and money support by far right billionaires. Both sides... have issues to deal with. This side - I don't see a path that redeems any sense of values in conservatives that they might have had (and I think they did, long ago).
