Press Releases 12.15.16 Pelosi Statement Calling for an Independent Investigation of Putins Interference in U.S. Elections
San Francisco House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released this statement today reiterating the need for a bipartisan, independent review following recent reports of Russian President Vladimir Putins personal involvement in U.S. elections. Pelosi, the longest serving Member of the House Intelligence Committee, is a former Ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
Elections determine the future our children will inherit. Given the alarming magnitude, seriousness and scope of Russias efforts to undermine U.S. elections, we must have an independent, bipartisan investigation to protect the integrity of our democracy.
Republicans should work with House Democrats to pass the Protecting Our Democracy Act, H.R. 6447, introduced by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Ranking Member Elijah Cummings and Intelligence Committee Member Eric Swalwell. This critical legislation would establish a truly bipartisan, independent commission to investigate Russias efforts to undermine our elections and democratic institutions.
The American people are gravely concerned about Russias involvement in our elections and this Congress has a Constitutional duty to respond to these concerns with urgency.
They continue to make themselves look like the utter fools they are.
