Chairman Crowley Statement on Former FBI Director Comey’s Testimony to Senate Intelligence Committee
(Washington, DC) – House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-NY) issued the following statement after James Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee that President Trump asked the former FBI director to drop investigations into Michael Flynn’s connections to Russia:
“Former FBI Director James Comey confirmed today that President Trump attempted to use the power of the White House to pressure the FBI to drop investigations into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s connections to Russia. This should deeply concern anyone invested in the future of American democracy. Comey’s testimony once again shows why an independent investigation is needed, and why both the special prosecutor’s and FBI’s investigations must continue until they uncover all of the facts.”
