So this nomination is not the usual nomination. It comes in a different way, and it has proceed in a way of excessive spending of dark money that in the time I have been on this committee, I have never seen before.

Nothing I could see today warranted a departure from the normal review produces. And these materials should now be provided to the full membership of both committees. The White House has yet to explain why senior White House staff…

nothing he saw warranted a departure from the normal review procedure.

We have to stay above politics, because I'm home right now for the weekend and my constituents are asking me, what are you doing to make sure we find out whether any U.S. persons participated in Russia's interference campaign?

Just the perception of a conflict of interest can be as bad as a conflict of interest. That's why I think the responsible thing to do for the chairman is to step aside.

But, generally, innocent people are not seeking immunity. And so, I would want to know what is he afraid of that could come out and what could he tell us that we don't already know?

If we are going to have that independence and credibility and make progress, we need to not be working with the White House where the president's campaign right now is under federal, criminal and counterintelligence investigations.

Right now we don't know enough. And generally you don't give immunity to innocent people. So as far as I'm concerned, I want to know why he is seeking immunity and what he could tell us that would illuminate the ties that we suspect are…

Mr. Speaker, on rollcall votes 207 and 208 I was unable to vote due to obligations in my congressional district. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall 207, the Motion to Recommit, and ``yes'' on rollca11 208, related to…

Mr. President, today I wish to express my disappointment in today's vote on H.J. Res. 67 and my strong opposition to H.J. Res. 66. These resolutions overturn rules issued by the Department of Labor that are essential to providing increased…

Madam Speaker, I rise today because the American people have the right to know the truth regarding Russia's interference in our democratic process. I am a member of the House Armed Services Committee, and the message I hear from our…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Theresa Lopez from Madera, California. Theresa was chosen by my office to be March's Heroine of the Month for the 17th Congressional District. For nearly 10 years, Theresa has served as a veterans…

Mr. Speaker, it looks like my colleagues have wasted no time moving back to familiar territory after their healthcare disaster last week. Instead of fighting over how many people should lose health coverage, they decided that it is easier…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate 20 years of the Gluck Fellows Program of the Arts at the University of California, Riverside. Since 1996, the Max H. Gluck Foundation has supported undergraduate and graduate students as they bring…

the Obama administration conceded at the outset on the ballistic missile issue, which was a major mistake to begin with.

Chairman Nunes at this point has shown that he's too close to the White House for us to have an independent, credible investigation that makes progress. That's why, Anderson, I think it's time for him to step away. Our country was attacked…

The fact that he canceled a hearing for no reason, the fact that he went over to the White House, two days, you know, on Tuesday and Wednesday, both days after the public hearing -- to me, it just looks like there's a conflict of interest.

It feels like all of that work is in jeopardy because we have a chairman who seems more loyal to the White House right now than the investigation we're charged with doing.
