Suggested Questions for GOP Leadership
We here in the Democratic Whip Press Shop thought we’d pass along a few questions you may want to ask Speaker Ryan and Leader McCarthy at today’s press conference:
- Will you commit to a full investigation of the Trump Administration’s ties to Russia, including any ways the President may be compromised, and the hacking of the election?
- Will you ask the Administration to brief the full House on these developments?
- Are you concerned that the White House Counsel’s office knew about this weeks ago, and the White House did nothing?
- Are you asking the White House who knew about Flynn’s conversations regarding sanctions, and when they knew it?
- Do you think the President knew about this?
- Do you think others on the President’s transition team approved Flynn’s conversations?
- Do you think General Flynn should have been allowed to remain on the National Security Council knowing he could be compromised?
- Are you concerned that just hours before Flynn resigned, Kellyanne Conway said the President had “full confidence” in Flynn?
- Do you agree with the President that it’s the leaks that are the problem, not the fact that a civilian discussed sanctions with Russia or that Russia may have damaging information on Trump and other officials?
- What steps are Republicans taking to hold the President and his Administration accountable?
