WASHINGTON - Colorado U.S. Rep. Jason Crow and other Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video urging members of the military to resist "illegal orders" confirmed Wednesday that they are under investigation from the Trump administration, a remarkable step by the Justice Department that comes after the president accused the lawmakers of sedition for their words.
Washington — Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado has been contacted by the Justice Department about a video he and a group of lawmakers recorded that urged U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders, marking the latest escalation in the Trump administration's efforts against the Democrats.
AURORA | Aurora Democratic Congressperson Jason Crow and a group of Democratic colleagues are returning to federal court to challenge what they say is a renewed effort by the Trump administration to “secretly” block unannounced congressional oversight of immigration detention facilities, according to a statement issued by Crow Monday.
Crow and fellow Democratic lawmakers are asking the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to intervene after the Department of Homeland Security quietly issued a memo requiring members of Congress to give seven days’ notice before visiting federal immigration detention centers.
Four months ago, we tried President Trump for abusing the power of his office in ways that undermined our country's national security, the integrity of U.S. elections and the constitutional structure of our republic. Trump's efforts to coerce an ally to help him cheat in the upcoming election violated the public trust, went to the heart of his unfitness for office — and revealed that he prioritizes his interests over those of the nation.
Controlling the spread of the coronavirus and rebuilding our economy will take a monumental effort by all levels of government. As Congress debates the next stimulus relief package, we come together to demand that legislation be driven not by ideology or party lines, but by the needs of our communities. That includes providing stimulus relief to our state and local governments who are on the frontlines of this pandemic.
The toll the coronavirus is having on America's cities and states is unprecedented. Here in Colorado, we are looking at a possible $3 billion shortfall at the state government level while our proud city of Aurora is facing an estimated $25 million budget cut.
Five House Democrats on Monday asked a federal watchdog to investigate what they said was mismanagement of the national health-care stockpile, alleging a "negligence and failure of leadership ... has put our health care workers and our constituents in grave danger."
A few hours after the U.S. Senate voted to acquit President Trump, bringing a swift end to the third impeachment trial in American history, a pair of armed police officers escorted Congressman Jason Crow of Colorado for the last time back to his Capitol Hill apartment. As one of the seven House impeachment managers, Crow had spent the last three weeks making the case to senators, and to the American people, that Trump should be removed from office. He had stood in the white-hot center of our politics. The scrutiny, he'd expected. The death threats, not so much. Hence the security detail.
It's still dark in Washington, D.C., when Representative Jason Crow gets up, pulls on his sneakers, and slips out the front door of the apartment he shares with Congressman Joe Neguse. Crow is used to getting up at dawn. As a kid, he woke early to stalk deer in Wisconsin's Northwoods. In the Army, he didn't have a choice. Now, as a freshman congressman, he gets up every morning by 6 a.m. of his own accord.
