Why isn't senator Chris Van Hollen being investigated for violating the Logan Act:
Trump never gave him authorization.
A Senator is both a Senator and a private citizen. While serving in the Senate, they hold a public office and have the responsibilities and privileges associated with that role. However, outside of their official duties, they also retain their rights and obligations as private citizens of the United States
The Logan Act, formally codified as 18 U.S.C. § 953, prohibits U.S. citizens from engaging in unauthorized diplomacy with foreign governments with the intent to influence their policies or actions, particularly in disputes or controversies with the United States. It essentially prevents private citizens from interfering in the U.S. government's diplomatic affairs.
The Logan Act is a U.S. law that prohibits unauthorized private diplomacy with foreign governments. It essentially prevents U.S. citizens from engaging in communications with foreign governments without the authorization of the U.S. government, especially when those communications are intended to influence a foreign government's actions in relation to a dispute with the U.S. or to defeat U.S. policy.
