Dear MoveOn member,
Any day now, special counsel Robert Mueller could wrap up his investigation into Russia's attempts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election—and whether Trump's campaign colluded with them or Trump obstructed justice to cover it up. But just last week, Trump refused to commit to making the report and its findings public. Americans need to work to make sure that Trump does not try to hide the findings of the report, and Congress has the power to do just that.
The investigation has already delivered indictments of or guilty pleas from 34 people, including Trump confidant Roger Stone's arrest just recently. Yet at every turn, Trump and his loyalists have attempted to politicize and derail Mueller's efforts to uncover the truth. Last week, Trump told The New York Times he would not commit to ensuring the American people see the findings of the report. And at his State of the Union address, Trump called the investigations into his campaign and administration one of the greatest enemies to a healthy nation.
The results of Mueller's investigation are a matter of grave national importance—and Americans have a right to the full truth.
But there's a serious risk that Trump's attorney general—or members of his Administration—might try to hide Mueller's findings from the public. That would be an unacceptable abuse of power by the Trump administration. and we must act now to prevent this from happening. We're calling on both chambers of Congress to pass the bipartisan Special Counsel Transparency Act, which will guarantee a public report of Mueller's factual findings, as well as his reasoning behind whether or not to press charges.
Donald Trump has, at every step along the way, tried to impede and derail Mueller's investigation. We absolutely cannot let Trump or his administration bury Mueller's report. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and We The People have the right to know the full truth.
Please add your name and demand that Congress pass the Special Counsel Transparency Act.
Thanks!
