Today, Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX) called on his colleagues to investigate ties between the Russian government and the Trump administration:
“Congress has a duty to defend our national The Russian government is no friend of Americans. Just yesterday, they violated their treaty with the United States by launching cruise Russia hacked President Trump’s opponents to help him with the election. Before the Inauguration, and allegedly even before the election, Michael Flynn undermined Congress and the sitting U.S. President in secret phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. What did the President know, and when? Campaign aides were in regular contact with Russian intelligence. Top White House officials have close ties to the Kremlin. And these are just the confirmed, unclassified facts. Clearly, an investigation is needed to uncover the extent of Putin’s influence in our White House and on our elections.” |
