John,
Last July, William Barr came before the Judiciary
Committee to answer our questions. But instead of giving
testimony, he put on a show for Donald Trump.
I was determined to not let him get away with it, so
I held his feet to the fire and demanded answers to our
committee’s pressing questions.
And when he tried to dodge or obstruct, I dared to
stand up to him. I told him I “reclaimed my time” so I could
refocus the discussion away from his Trump-approved talking
points.
Well, John, now the
Justice Department (DOJ) is saying that because I was too mean to
Attorney General William Barr, senior officials won’t testify
before the House.
The Judiciary Committee has requested a number of
senior DOJ officials to testify on important matters — but in a
lengthy, three-page letter, the Assistant Attorney General said
that because I was too mean to William Barr, they are refusing to
appear.
Let me be clear, John: I
will never be afraid of speaking truth to power. Attorney General
William Barr has been abusing his power to serve the personal
interests of Donald Trump, and if he refuses to testify in good
faith, I will call him out.
The fact that that’s led to senior officials in the
Justice Department refusing to testify is more evidence of their
kowtowing to President Trump’s crooked agenda.
John, if you want me to
stay in Congress to keep holding corruption accountable, will you
make a donation to my re-election campaign right now? GOP bigwigs
aren’t happy with me standing up to William Barr, and they’d love
to see me never return to the halls of Congress. That’s why I’m
counting on you!
