Barofsky deferred a decision on disciplinary action pending further review, but did not cite the federal probe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Barofsky\u2019s role as monitor involves ensuring the union complies with an agreement it made with federal authorities following a 2020 corruption scandal. His office issues periodic reports on the union\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<p>Fain also allegedly retaliated against UAW Vice President Rich Boyer for refusing to approve the benefits, stripping him of his role as chief negotiator with the maker of Jeep and Ram vehicles, Stellantis NV. The accusations were made by Boyer, according to the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg then reported on Sunday that the DOJ has launched a grand jury investigation into Fain, and that the federal grand jury has subpoenaed Barofsky, citing emails seen by the outlet that were sent to Fain, Boyer, and members of the union\u2019s law firm. The investigation was also reported by the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>In a June 18 email seen by Reuters, the monitor\u2019s lead counsel wrote, \u201cWe are not publishing the details of our factual findings on this issue at this time out of deference to a Grand Jury investigation DOJ has initiated into that issue. We do not intend to publicly disclose the existence of that investigation at this \u200btime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to Bloomberg, Fain dismissed the allegations as false and accused Boyer of trying to influence the upcoming UAW election. In another statement, he accused Boyer of feeding the monitor false allegations and alleged that the monitor had a \u201cpolitical grudge against me because the UAW took an anti-war stance about what was happening in Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the Monitor is doing is wrong, it\u2019s unfair to the UAW and to \u200byou as members, and my lawyers are looking at any and all legal options I can pursue \u200bto make it \u2060stop,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3384\">Mitch McConnell Shows Signs of Massive Ill Health in Bombshell Photo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, he labeled the allegations as \u201cbogus\u201d to the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>Fain, who endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election and spoke at the Democratic National Convention wearing a shirt reading, \u2018Trump Is A Scab,\u2019 is campaigning for a second four-year term as president in an election scheduled for later this year. Boyer is one of the candidates running against him.<\/p>\n<p>He also called Trump a scab in his speech, prompting impassioned chants of \u201cTrump\u2019s a scab\u201d from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not just my opinion, that\u2019s a fact,\u201d Fain added. \u201cAll we have to do is look at the track record\u201a\u201d he continued, before detailing Trump\u2019s failure to support the auto industry or rein in corporate America during his first term, though he later applauded the president\u2019s tariffs on imported autos and auto parts in his second term. <\/p>\n<p>Under Trump, the DOJ has been aggressively pursuing the president\u2019s critics, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, New York Attorney General Letitia James, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and ActBlue, a fundraising group aligned with the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Bloomberg. The Daily Beast has contacted the DOJ for comment. A spokesperson for the UAW told the New York Times that the union was not the focus of a grand jury investigation. <\/p>\n<p>An electrician by trade, Fain, 57, was elected to lead the UAW in March 2023, in the union\u2019s first-ever direct election. The union represents over 400,000 active members across more than 600 local unions in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>It has been under federal oversight since a 2020 settlement following a corruption scandal involving more than a dozen union officials, some of whom pleaded guilty to embezzling millions of dollars for their own benefit. Two officials, including a former union board member, were handed prison sentences for their role in the scandal.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3382\">Lindsey Graham\u2019s Cause of Death Revealed After Sudden Passing<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Justice has opened a probe into an outspoken critic of Trump following allegations that he improperly used his authority.
