"More witches than a Mar-a-Lago Halloween party."

Press Release

Today, Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) spoke on the House floor urging passage of a resolution in support of making Special Counsel Mueller's report available to the public and to Congress. You can watch his speech here or read it below. Eleven months ago, Rep. Doggett introduced legislation to ensure that the work of the Special Counsel is not suppressed. Rep. Doggett is also helping lead the charge to obtain Trump's personal and business tax returns.

"The relentless, baseless attacks on an American patriot, Robert Mueller, and his team have moved us ever so closer to a constitutional crisis. Just as we cannot yield to Trump's attempt to discredit this distinguished team of legal experts, neither can we let them bury the results of this taxpayer paid investigation.

"Having nothing to fear means having nothing to hide. Those who seek to hide this report obviously do not believe that the truth will set them free. Rather, as it has for so many of Mr. Trump's sleazy cohorts, they fear that the Trump -- the truth will lock them up.

"So many lies, so much daily deceit, already so much evidence of collusion and obstruction and from the organization's own former lawyer, evidence of an apparent criminal enterprise that bears the name of the Trump Organization.

"If it is a witch-hunt, Mr. President, it has more witches than a Mar-a-Lago Halloween party. And your witch's brew, your witch's brew seems to have cast a spell over many members of this Congress who find themselves locked in continuing silence, or wishy-washy efforts to ignore and bolster your floundering presidency.

"Today's resolution says to President Trump, who has shown such consistent disregard for the rule of law, you cannot seize and secret evidence of conduct that others need to see. Let the taxpayers see the results of the investigation of the wrongdoing, which their dollars have rightly funded.

"Our congressional duty is to enforce the borders, to be border patrol people, to see that this President who was willing to cross every line, every constitutional boundary, to see that he is contained within the borders of the Constitution. For the rule of law to stand, the administration cannot be allowed to sit on the special counsel's report."
