Paulsen Statement on the Firing of FBI Director Comey

Statement

Today, Congressman Paulsen (MN-03) released the following statement regarding the firing of FBI Director James Comey:

"Maintaining public trust in the integrity of our elections as well as our institutions, such as the FBI, is of the utmost importance," said Congressman Paulsen. "For 10 months, the FBI has been investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. The extraordinary decision to fire Director Comey definitely raises questions which must be answered. I believe these circumstances call for an independent investigation that the American people can trust with confidence."

Congressman Paulsen, a champion of small business and advocate of free enterprise, entrepreneurship, and innovation, serves on the House Ways and Means Committee, the bicameral Joint Economic Committee, and is co-chair of the Congressional Medical Technology Caucus.
