Friend --

Below is my statement on the Special Counsel Report.

“The Special Counsel Report confirms what my colleagues and I uncovered during our investigation with the January 6th Committee: Donald Trump lost a free and fair election.”

“Rather than accept this truth, Donald Trump allowed his ego to override his duty to the American people. He lied to his supporters, lied to the country, and engaged in illegal acts in a desperate and dangerous attempt to cling to power and brought our democracy to the brink because of it.”

“Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is not facing accountability for his lies and crimes because he ran for president and was elected.”

“I am proud of the work my colleagues and I did on the January 6th Committee to shine a light on the truth and hold Donald Trump and his enablers responsible for January 6th accountable. This report is a testament to the importance of uncovering the facts, defending the rule of law and upholding the constitution.”

“While I welcome the release of the Special Counsel’s report, I regret that the Justice Department did not act more swiftly in investigating these crimes.”

“Most of all, this report highlights just how fragile our Democracy is. We live in a nation that has lifted millions out of poverty, triumphed over tyranny, pioneered groundbreaking medical advancements, and showcased the best of American values in times of profound need and we have done all that because democracy has enabled us to.  We must remain vigilant in protecting it from those who seek to undermine it.”
