    Michael Cohen voluntarily testified under oath and provided corroborating evidence, so people can judge his credibility. Trump believes he’s under no obligation to be honest with the public, and refuses to testify. To find out the truth, Mueller should compel his testimony.

    Sorry, Mr. Trump and Mr. Meadows. I was not part of any of the staff proffer sessions with Mr. Cohen. You really should be more careful about making or propagating false statements if you wish to condemn Cohen and others. I’m sure it was unintentional....

    To tackle the toughest issues, we must restore voting rights, increase campaign finance transparency, end the gerrymander and enact tough anti-corruption standards. Today, the House passed landmark legislation to do just that. Your move, .

    The statement by Paul Manafort’s lawyer after an already lenient sentence — repeating the President’s mantra of no collusion — was no accident. It was a deliberate appeal for a pardon. One injustice must not follow another.

    I've received official responses from and re: steps the companies will take to combat anti-vaccine misinformation. The ultimate test will be if these measures reduce the spread of anti-vaccine content on their platforms, to the benefit of public health.

    Presidents can use a pardon to rectify an injustice. They may not use it to obstruct justice. I just introduced legislation to ensure that if the pardon power is abused to coverup crimes involving any President, his/her family or associates, Congress finds out:

    While North Korea may be reconstructing a test site at facility previously used for space launches, Trump cancels joint exercises with our South Korean allies. Kim Jong Un strategy: “negotiation accompanied by provocation” Trump strategy: “negotiation accompanied by concession”

    A week ago, I stated that there was no nepotism exception to the requirement that you pass a background check to have access to classified information. I stand corrected. Nepotism is apparently the rule in the Trump Administration, not the exception.

    I've long feared Trump would use the instruments of state power to carry out his vendetta against the press he has attacked as the "enemy of the people." Congress must find out whether Trump did just that by seeking to interfere in a merger or raising postal rates on Amazon.

    Trump ordered top economic adviser Gary Cohn to pressure the Justice Department to file a lawsuit to block the ATT-Time Warner merger, in an apparent effort to retaliate against CNN, reports:

    I’ve at times posed the unanswerable question of how one can ethically serve a deeply unethical man. It appears the National Security Advisor’s approach is to pretend he doesn’t understand English.

    Trump on Warmbier: Kim “tells me he didn’t know about it, and I will take him at his word." Bolton: "When he says, 'I'm going to take him at his word,' it doesn't mean that he accepts it as reality. It means that he accepts that's what Kim Jong-un said."

    We will not abide by Trump’s “red line” or ignore his business dealings with the Russians. The Trump Tower Moscow deal and credible allegations the Russians laundered money through the Trump Org must be investigated. Either could compromise the President of the United States.

    Trump went to the North Korea summit unprepared. The result? He has enhanced Kim Jong Un’s prestige on the world stage, given up our joint military exercises, and gotten nothing for it. This Administration is flying by the seat of its pants, with real world consequences.

    There are 880,000 reasons why DOJ must give Mueller report and underlying evidence to Congress: In 2018, DOJ gave Congress that many pages – classified info, messages and files even as to individuals not indicted, because of public interest. We won't permit a double standard.

    The mystery of how Jared Kushner was granted a top secret security clearance despite myriad financial entanglements and undisclosed foreign meetings has been solved: His father in law ordered it. It’s called clearance by nepotism and a serious abuse that endangers our security.

    EXCLUSIVE: The White House chief of staff at the time, John Kelly, wrote a contemporaneous internal memo about how he had been “ordered” by the president to give Jared Kushner the top-secret clearance. w/

    Walking away from the summit was better than making a bad deal. It’s also the result of a poorly planned strategy. But accepting Kim’s denial of involvement in Warmbier’s death? Detestable, and harkens back to Trump’s duplicitous acceptances of denials from other dictators.

    Trump says he believes Kim Jong Un was not responsible for what happened to Otto Warmbier. "Those prisons are rough...He tells me that he didn’t know about it and I will take him at his word.” Echoes of Trump previously taking Vladimir Putin at his word.

    Today Cohen provided the American public with a first-hand account of serious misconduct by Trump & those around him. Tomorrow we‘ll examine in depth many of those topics including Trump Tower Moscow, Roger Stone/Wikileaks and any WH role in Cohen’s false statements to Congress.

    In the past, Congress responded to Parkland, Thousand Oaks, Orlando, Las Vegas, Sandy Hook, and so many other mass shootings with thoughts and prayers. That’s not enough. Not even close. Today, Congress acts. Today, we VOTE on to require background checks on every gun sale

    The House gun control bills would be the biggest expansion of background checks since they were first required for gun buys 25 years ago.

    The resurgence of authoritarianism makes clear the spread of democracy is not assured, and the fight for freedom must be carried anew by each generation. That’s why our first hearing was on how we can stand with our global allies as champions of democracy.
