Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Marco Rubio of Florida are teaming up to push the Biden administration to review the planned acquisition of Forbes magazine.
The pair sent a letter Wednesday to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warning her that the planned buyout involves entities tied to Russia and the Chinese Communist Party, which previously tried to purchase the outlet.
"Forbes reportedly holds a significant market share among younger Americans, with tens of millions of monthly users," the lawmakers wrote. "This puts Forbes in a unique position to collect and store sensitive personal data on these populations and influence their opinions."
"Further, foreign powers could use Forbes' wide reach to influence voters during close elections," the letter continued, pointing out the magazine's recent reporting on the Uyghur genocide by Chinese authorities in Xinjiang.
In May, Axios noted that the top investor for the proposed Forbes buyout is 28-year-old Austin Russell, an American currently running an electric vehicle company, who is pledging $10 million for the magazine.

It’s not like there would be much difference in the content, they already submit to the CCP and the CPUSA.

The pair sent a letter Wednesday to Treasury Secretary Janet YellenIf I could pick two Senators to send a strongly written letter to Janet Yellen, it would be Rubio and Cotton.

The deep state doesn’t like competition, so they had two of their members write a strongly worded letter reminding the Biden regime who runs the show.
