Crow Statement on Trump Lies

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement on President Trump’s partisan speech of election denialism:

“Tonight the American people heard more lies from an unwell President. 

“Donald Trump is obsessed with staying in office  so he can enrich himself and his billionaire donors–disregarding the will of the voters. He’s desperately trying to cling to power and distract from his unpopular war, skyrocketing prices, incompetent leadership, and rampant corruption.

“Our election system has been and remains safe and secure. Thousands of elections have happened all over the country at every level of government during the President’s time in office. Yet Trump only has a problem with one election, the one he lost.

“As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I have seen no credible evidence of successful foreign interference with prior elections or foreign threats to the current election. The President’s attempt to cherry-pick intelligence or rewrite history does not change that. 

“Despite his lies and assault on our democracy, he will not succeed. The American people are fed up with failed leadership. Accountability is coming.”
