DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin sent a letter to DOJ asking it to investigate whether state voter/driver data was improperly transferred to nonprofits including ERIC and CEIR, groups tied to Zuckerberg-linked funding, matching Trump's claim.

Just The News and Washington Examiner both report that DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin sent a letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche asking DOJ to investigate potential Driver's Privacy Protection Act violations involving transfer of sensitive state voter and driver data to nonprofits, including ERIC and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), which received funding tied to Mark Zuckerberg. This directly corroborates Trump's Truth Social post, which itself links to and quotes the Just The News headline. The claim accurately summarizes the reported facts without embellishment.
