Hoyer Statement on Reports of Further Trump Ties to Russia
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today regarding reports that the former Chair of the Trump campaign, Paul Manafort, worked to benefit the Russian government:
“Every day now, it seems, we are learning more about ties between Donald Trump and Russia. The new information today about Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign manager, only thickens the ‘big, gray cloud’ hanging over the Trump Administration, as Republican House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes described it on Monday. It is a cloud spawned from Russia’s efforts to undermine our democracy and made darker and more foreboding by some Republicans’ attempts to minimize or distract from this deeply concerning affair. The American people deserve answers, including about what President Trump may potentially be hiding about these matters in his tax returns, and I continue to believe that the best way to get answers is through the creation of a bipartisan, independent commission.”
