THE INVESTIGATION MUST CONTINUE
(Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, Donald Trump, Jr., has documented
that he, Jared Kushner, and former Trump campaign chairman Paul
Manafort met with a Russian lawyer with the understanding that she was
a Russian Government agent and would provide damaging information on
Hillary Clinton as part of Moscow's effort to help President Trump's
campaign.
The attempt by these top advisers to solicit the support of a hostile
foreign power to win the American Presidency is unprecedented in our
history.
When an American political campaign is approached by a foreign source
promising information on an opponent, they should contact the FBI.
Unfortunately, the Trump campaign, instead, scheduled a meeting.
All those who participated in the Trump Tower meeting must testify
under oath before Congress. Mr. Trump, Mr. Manafort, Mr. Kushner, Mr.
Goldstone, and Ms. Veselnitskaya must disclose to Congress the nature
and details of their conversations, including any sources in the
Kremlin.
Special Counsel Mueller's investigation must continue, and so must
ours.
