BACKGROUND:
Trump was impeached when he pressured a foreign government to investigate a political rival to undermine the 2020 election, got caught, and tried to cover it up. He and his supporters are at it again.
Sunday, Senator Lindsey Graham said “The Department of Justice is receiving information coming out of the Ukraine from Rudy [Giuliani] to see — he [Attorney General William Barr] told me that they have created a process that Rudy could give information and they would see if it’s verified.”
Monday Attorney General Barr said, “The Justice Department’s door is open if President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, wants to pass along information from Ukraine connected with Joe Biden and his family.”
Trump’s acquittal has emboldened Trump and his supporters to flaunt that they are using every lever of our government for Trump’s benefit.
Congress must step up. Our Senators are election security champions. We must help them pressure the Senate to pass election security measures passed in the House. Our Representatives must introduce legislation criminalizing the solicitation of foreign power/information to initiate investigations of a political rival.
Our elections must be protected. This is a test for Congress. Our Democratic MoCs must again lead the way.
