Congressional Inquiry Targets Taylor Farms Donation Amid Cyclospora Outbreak

A California congressman who is the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee is launching a formal probe into Taylor Farms CEO Bruce Taylor’s $1 million donation to Trump and possible attempts to influence the FDA’s investigation into the cyclospora outbreak tied to Taylor Farms lettuce; the inquiry seeks internal communications and White House contacts from 2025–2026, questions the recall decision process, and follows Taylor Farms' and the White House’s denials of improper influence.
