We Must Put Protections in Place to Protect Mueller's Investigation

have called on my colleagues in Congress to rapidly put protections in place to protect Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation, to demand that Acting Attorney General Whitaker recuse himself from overseeing the probe based on his previous statements, and to only confirm a new attorney general who vows to protect the special counsel’s investigation.

It should go without saying that the American people must be absolutely confident that the President is always putting their interests first. And quite honestly, it is a disgrace that this is not currently the case. The American people deserve to know the truth about Russia’s influence on and connections to President Trump, his campaign, and his administration – as well as whether the President has tried to obstruct investigations already underway.

Media reports are saying that Mueller's team has begun writing its final report. They must be allowed to finish the critically important work they started, without political interference by the president or his allies.
