Five New York Times journalists asked hard-hitting questions about Donald Trump's lavish gifts from Qatar.

Then, they were attacked.

Folks, when leaders try to intimidate reporters for doing their jobs they're sending a dangerous message to every journalist, every whistleblower, and every American who dares to speak out:

Stay silent or else!

Those who have investigated Trump have been sent subpoenas, taken to court, and have even had their homes raided by federal agents.

A free press is the foundation of a healthy democracy, and that's precisely why Trump and his power-hungry friends are attacking true journalists.

 This is how democracies fall.

That's why we're fighting like hell to elect Democrats who will defend the free press and independent journalism. But with the midterms around the corner, we need everyone to do their part.
