REP LIEU CONDEMNS GOP EFFORTS TO INTERFERE WITH ONGOING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF TRUMP

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement regarding Republican efforts to interfere with the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation into the former President.

"Republicans are in the midst of another all-out blitz to interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation. Instead of working with Democrats to help American families and strengthen our economy, Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans are focused on using the powers of Congress to subvert law enforcement. The former president has yet to be charged with a crime, yet Republicans are making serious accusations about a criminal investigation without seeing evidence, without seeing charging documents, and without any proof of prosecutorial wrongdoing. Time and again Speaker McCarthy, Chairman Jim Jordan, and other Republican leaders have sided with the most extreme wing of the GOP and chosen chaos over governing. Clearly, the Speaker of the House is so busy interfering in a criminal investigations that he doesn't have time to present a budget."
