Dear MoveOn member,
One of Rudy Giuliani's close associates has accused Representative Devin Nunes, a congressional ally of President Trump, of using taxpayer dollars to do the president's bidding—and meeting with an ex-Ukrainian official to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.1
Nunes, the lead Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, should have recused himself before the impeachment hearings began. Congress must thoroughly investigate these serious allegations.
Rep. Nunes, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee and one of President Trump's most aggressive supporters in Congress, is suspected of meeting with former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in Vienna last year.2
The purpose of this alleged covert meeting? To obtain information on Trump's political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden.
If true, these new accusations would implicate Rep. Nunes in the crime at the heart of Trump's impeachment inquiry and raise new questions as to how deep the Trump administration's corruption goes. Rep. Nunes is threatening and attempting to discredit news outlets like CNN that reported this story.
Congress must thoroughly and expeditiously investigate these claims. Rep. Nunes, who has access to classified and top-secret information, has already lied and sought to derail the House's impeachment investigation, and we can't let him cover up his own potential role in Trump's scheme.
Thanks for all you do.
