[ [link removed] ]Will you add your name to the petition to demand Donald Trump be
investigated to determine if he violated the Logan Act?

Dear MoveOn member, 

Disturbing new reports surfaced allegations that Donald Trump has had
private conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in
order to dissuade a ceasefire agreement and influence the presidential
elections. If these allegations are true, this would be a major violation
of the Logan Act, which prohibits negotiations between the U.S. and a
foreign government by unauthorized civilians—which Trump is.

[ [link removed] ]The Department of Justice needs to investigate these allegations NOW
and file criminal charges against Trump immediately if found true. Will
you sign the petition?

Two sources, who remain anonymous at this time, said they were briefed on
the communications and that Trump spoke on the phone with Netanyahu and
repeatedly advised against a ceasefire because it could "help the Harris
campaign."^1,2 Both Trump and Netanyahu have admitted to speaking on the
phone but are denying the allegations.^3

Netanyahu's brutal bombardment of Palestine has only escalated.
Devastatingly, more than 41,000 people have been killed, and countless
more have been injured and are facing starvation.^4 The situation is dire.
We need every political leader to be working toward a permanent ceasefire
now in order to stop any further loss of life. 

[ [link removed] ]It's horrifying that Trump may have used his position and power to try
to stall a ceasefire and interfere with negotiations for his own political
gain. Sign the petition to demand the DOJ investigate these allegations
NOW!

Tell the DOJ: Investigate Donald Trump NOW for any unauthorized inference
in ceasefire negotiations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu!

This wouldn't be the first time Trump was accused of violating the Logan
Act. He's been accused of unauthorized communications with Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelensky and, during one of his rallies, he mentioned
explicitly that they discussed plans to "negotiate a deal."^5 Trump also
hosted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at Mar-a-Lago and had private
conversations with the leader. 

And when Prime Minister Netanyahu was in the United States to address
Congress, he also met Trump at Mar-a-Lago and talked directly with him
about the election and the ongoing conflict, assuring him at one point
that "We'll get it taken care."^6

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to call on the DOJ to investigate Trump for any
violations of the Logan Act NOW!

The Logan Act has been rarely enforced in U.S. history—but it has been
evoked. Two people have had charges brought against them for violating the
Logan Act in the history of our country.^7

Trump could be the third. 

We need the violence being waged against Palestinians to end. And we need
there to be a pathway to peace. Any interference in negotiations or delays
in striking a deal could result in more death, starvation, and
devastation. We can't allow Trump to meddle in foreign affairs and try to
influence foreign leaders for his own benefit and gain.

if he is found guilty of violating the Logan Act.

Thanks for all you do.
