FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement regarding two amendments he introduced to the Make America Safe Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2018.
"Protecting our state secrets and taxpayer dollars should be no-brainers for those running the government—but they apparently are not for this President or this Republican-controlled Congress.”
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) introduced two amendments Monday that put focus on President Trump’s family and businesses, including one that would strip funding from senior White House adviser Jared Kushner’s office.
We need to get Donald Trump’s finger off the nuclear button. This is not a partisan plea. It is not a call to lower America’s guard against potential nuclear attacks. It is an appeal to common sense in the face of a president whose volatile temperament and erratic judgment should rule out allowing him to single-handedly start a nuclear war.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) on Saturday accused President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner of blatantly lying on key national security forms, reaffirming his call for Kushner's security clearance to be revoked.
"Let's just be clear: Jared Kushner lied on his first two security clearance forms. They're not memory failures," Lieu said on MSNBC. These were very important meetings with the Russians, one involving a secret backchannel, the other involving getting dirt on Hillary Clinton. You don't forget about those meetings."
The first thing you see outside California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu’s Washington office is a piece of paper taped to his nameplate that says, “Alternative Fact Free Zone, Period.”
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) used President Trump's "Made In America" campaign to knock the administration, wearing a lookalike of Trump's "Make America Great Again" hat, but with "Trump, Putin 2016" written on it.
Lieu debuted the hat on Twitter Tuesday, sharing a selfie of himself wearing the hat outside of congress.
"Wearing this special hat for White House Made in America week. Unlike the products of [Trump] and Ivanka Trump it's Made in America!" Lieu tweeted.
Joy Reid and her panel, including Rep. Ted Lieu of California and more, debate the legal questions surrounding Donald Trump, Jr. meeting with a Russian lawyer promising opposition research.
