Congressman DeSaulnier’s Statement on Trump’s Attacks on Mueller Investigation

Washington, DC – Today, Congressman DeSaulnier (CA-11) issued the following statement in response to President Trump's repeated attacks on our law enforcement agencies, including singling out the Special Counsel's investigation by name for the first time.

"Interfering with Special Counsel Mueller's investigation is a red line that cannot be crossed. If President Trump does not heed warnings to let the investigation continue independently, we will have a major constitutional crisis. In that moment, if all elected officials do not put country before party we will have lost democracy," said Congressman DeSaulnier. "Congress must do its job and protect the Special Counsel. I wish that all my colleagues—Republican and Democrat alike—would join in passing legislation to ensure the investigation continues without interruption."
