                        MR. TRUMP SHOULD TESTIFY

  (Mr. SHERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, Robert Mueller is conducting a criminal 
investigation. Mr. Trump's attorney doesn't want him to testify.
  Rudy Giuliani has taken three outrageous positions: He has claimed 
that Mr. Trump doesn't have to testify if he doesn't think the 
prosecutor has a good basis for the investigation; that Mr. Trump 
doesn't have to testify if he doesn't think the prosecutor is being 
objective; and that Mr. Trump doesn't have to testify if the prosecutor 
doesn't already have sufficient evidence of a crime.
  On this poster is a picture of Mr. Al Capone. He was forced to 
testify before a grand jury. Mr. Capone didn't think that there was a 
basis for that investigation, and Mr. Capone didn't think that the 
prosecutor was objective. But he testified under oath, as did President 
Bill Clinton, because no one is above the law. No one is immune from a 
subpoena, not Mr. Al Capone, not Mr. Donald Trump.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Tenney). Members are reminded to refrain 
from engaging in personalities toward the President.
