          THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CAN PROSECUTE ANY AMERICAN

  (Mr. LIEU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LIEU. Madam Speaker, recently, Speaker McCarthy stated that if 
the Department of Justice can prosecute Donald Trump, then ``they can 
do that to any American.''
  Speaker McCarthy is absolutely correct. If the Department of Justice 
can prosecute Donald Trump for unlawfully retaining top secret, 
classified documents that put American lives at risk and sharing those 
documents with random people, then yes, the Department of Justice can 
prosecute you for unlawfully retaining top secret, classified documents 
and sharing them with random people, because you are not above the law 
and neither is Donald Trump.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks 
to the Chair.
