Senate Democrats Demand Answers on Sen. Moreno's Collection of Colleagues' Car VIN Data

Senate Commerce Committee Democrats announced they were investigating Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) after he admitted collecting vehicle identification numbers (VINs) of Democratic senators' personal cars during a November 6, 2025 hearing. Moreno said he pulled the data to highlight hypocrisy on vehicle safety technology. Sen. Jacky Rosen called the behavior "creepy." Democrats weighed ethics and privacy complaints.
