Evidence

AP reported that Sen. Richard Blumenthal sent Polymarket a letter demanding explanations about war and violence trades and insider-trading safeguards.

This confirms Blumenthal took the promised oversight action in the same Senate term by sending a formal letter to Polymarket. The available public AP account supports the core commitment, though it does not reproduce every detailed question or the April 24 response deadline.

delivered same_term

Blumenthal fulfilled the oversight promise by sending Polymarket a formal letter during his current Senate term demanding answers about national-security-related wagers, insider-trading safeguards, user identity records, and U.S. user restrictions, with the public reporting aligning with the promised April 2026 action. Because the promised act was to call on Polymarket for answers rather than to secure a later enforcement result, the outcome counts as delivered in the same term.
