Press Release
You said the President thinks he's done everything he could do.
Clearly, Chairman Nunes and the Trump White House are scared of what the public might learn, and by canceling a public hearing on Russian involvement in the election they are denying the American people the full scope of information that might come forward.
Donald Trump, just a few weeks ago, looked the American public in the eye though the lens of a TV camera and said I will support a healthcare policy that will give everybody insurance at lesser cost and greater quality.
Well, the bill keeps getting worse and worse and, of course, the deficit reduction the Republicans were claiming has now been halved by the changes they made.
If Republican leaders were hoping that the Congressional Budget Office’s cost and impact estimate for their amended health care bill would make any Member more likely to support it, I suspect they are now sorely disappointed.
The Republicans are a deeply divided party and have been so for six years. They have great, great difficulty reaching consensus on important pieces of legislation.
Clearly, they don't have the votes now because the President is working it very hard and the Republican leadership is working very hard, and they are making changes that we are not sure what the changes are.
Today’s actions and statements were inconsistent with Chairman Nunes's obligations to the Intelligence Committee, to the House of Representatives, and, by extension, to the American people.
Every day now, it seems, we are learning more about ties between Donald Trump and Russia.
I am closely following the news from London, and my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
