I need to make sure you saw this:

Trump and Hegseth’s Department of War just launched a sham investigation into me and called me “a bitter back-bencher” and “serial liar” — all because I demand accountability from the President.

Recently, I called on Donald Trump to release the transcript of his phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — the same leader U.S. intelligence concluded called for the brutal murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Instead of offering transparency, the Trump White House lashed out. They immediately launched a sham investigation into me to intimidate me, and their Communications Director resorted to name-calling, accusing me of lying, and resurrecting the same false smears they used after I blew the whistle on Trump six years ago.

But let me tell you something, when the White House attacks you, they show their cards. I know we’ve struck a nerve because these attacks are the cost of telling the truth about Donald Trump.

I’ve spent my entire adult life serving this country — from the Army to the National Security Council to the House of Representatives. I didn’t ask for this fight, but I believe the only responsible thing to do is speak up for the truth.

That is exactly what I did 6 years ago when I blew the whistle.
That is exactly what I’m doing now.
And it’s exactly why they’re trying to attack me into silence.

But I will not be intimidated by a sham investigation and name calling. I’ve faced far worse for standing up for what’s right. What I need is the strength of this grassroots movement behind me — because Trump and his allies have been targeting my seat since the day I entered Congress.

And that strength comes directly from you.

So I am asking: Will you split $7 between Hold the Line and my campaign to help me push back against these attacks and continue demanding accountability from Donald Trump?

They can attack me all they want. But it doesn't change the truth.
