Friend,

If you're keeping up with the news, you're already aware of what a long, strange trip the past few days have been.

But this morning, it got even more personal for me.

President Trump has lied countless times, but this time he's using me and my colleagues, Senator Durbin and Senator Menendez, as pawns for his lies. He even called me out by name in today's press conference.

No, Mr. President, the letter we wrote back in May 2018 did NOT ask Ukraine to investigate you. Instead, we raised concerns -- valid concerns -- that you were trying to influence Ukraine's judicial system to benefit yourself -- more than a year ago in 2018!

I am sick and tired of Trump’s outlandish falsehoods to divert attention from the truth. Are you? Please chip in $10 or more tonight to protect our democracy.

Thank you, as always, for your help.

Sincerely,

Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
