A group of Democratic senators led by Elizabeth Warren is calling for an ethics investigation into a White House event promoting Tesla Inc.

The demand comes after President Donald Trump on Tuesday held an impromptu press conference to support his billionaire adviser and Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk. During the event, five Teslas were displayed outside of the White House. Trump praised the cars as “beautiful” and selected a red Model S to purchase.
