Resolution: Trump and Russia

If Rep. Nadler’s bill is successful, the Department of Justice will have ‘to provide Congress with the basic information required to conduct an inquiry into President Trump and his associates” conflicts of interest, ethical violations—including the Emoluments Clause—and connections to the Russian government.’

Congresswoman Julia Brownley:
DC (202) 225-5811
Oxnard (805) 379-1779
T.O. (805) 379-1779

Script:
“My name is [name], I’m a constituent in [city], and I’m calling to urge Representative [Brownley ] to support HR 111, by co-sponsoring it and sharing our support with the democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee. Jerrold Nadler’s resolution of inquiry into Trump’s business conflicts and ties to Russia. My zip code is [#####].”

Why it’s important: On February 9, 2017, Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) took the extraordinary step of filing a “resolution of inquiry” in the U.S. House that could force a House investigation into Donald Trump’s financial conflicts of interest and ties to the Russian government.

Media reports have called Rep. Nadler’s action the “most aggressive move” yet by Democrats.

If Rep. Nadler is successful, the Department of Justice will have “to provide Congress with the basic information required to conduct an inquiry into President Trump and his associates” conflicts of interest, ethical violations—including the Emoluments Clause—and connections to the Russian government.” The DOJ will also have to provide information related to “any criminal or counterintelligence investigation targeting President Donald J. Trump, National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Carter Page, Roger Stone, or any employee of the Executive Office of the President.” BUT, the GOP put it down to be voted on within the House Judiciary Committee this Tuesday (tomorrow).
