‘There Is Nothing More Important Than Finding Out Whether or Not High Crimes Were Committed by Associates of Donald Trump or Possibly by Trump Himself’
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), an ardent and outspoken opponent of President Donald Trump’s actions, has issued a statement calling on the House and the Senate to cease action on all Trump administration items until the FBI has completed its investigation into Donald Trump, his administration and transition teams, and any possible collusion with Russia. That would include the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch tot he Supreme Court, and the health care bill, among many others.
“The bombshell revelation that U.S. officials have information that suggests Trump associates may have colluded with the Russians means we must pause the entire Trump agenda,†Rep. Lieu says, citing Wednesday night’s CNN report that states the FBI has evidence of collusion. “We may have an illegitimate President of the United States currently occupying the White House.â€
“Other than allowing routine governmental functions, there must be a total and complete shutdown of any agenda item being pushed by the Trump Administration. Congress cannot continue regular order and must stop voting on any Trump-backed agenda item until the FBI completes its Trump-Russia collusion investigation.â€
The California Democrat calls on Congress to “immediately form an independent commission and appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the collusion allegations with impartiality and independence.â€
Lieu also calls on Congress to needs “pass the Resolution of Inquiry, authored by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and I, to compel the Trump Administration to publicly disclose information on its Russian ties to the American people. At this point in our nation’s history, there is nothing more important than finding out whether or not high crimes were committed by associates of Donald Trump or possibly by Trump himself.â€
