Schakowsky statement on Donald Trump Jr's ‘love' for Russia
July 11, 2017
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, a Chief Deputy Whip, released the following statement after Donald Trump Jr. released an email exchange that shows he sought to collude with the Russian government to influence our presidential election:
“There’s only one right answer when a foreign adversary contacts a presidential campaign to coordinate efforts to influence our election: reporting the contact to law enforcement. No matter how bitter a campaign is, we trust our leaders to always put country over party. Of all the wrong answers, Donald Trump Jr.’s decision to say ‘I love it’ and schedule a meeting has to rank among the worst. Whether Mr. Trump’s decision was criminal or even treasonous will be up to the Special Prosecutor to decide.”
