U.S. Senate

You’re the president. Do something positive – and you are talking about 2020; that’s been settled over six years ago.

I don’t know why the president is dragging up all this stuff.

The only reason why the U.S. is conducting strikes is against assets of Iran that are being used to attack global commercial shipping.

We continue on a daily basis very successfully to degrade Iran’s ability to target ships.

I therefore respectfully refer this matter to the Department to open a criminal investigation into Plan C.

At the center of the effort is an entity called Plan C.

It's remarkable in many ways that we've not had more casualties.

I commended the courage of the Government of Lebanon, under President Aoun's leadership, for their determined effort to reclaim Lebanon's sovereignty.

That is not the kind of person we want in as DNI.

The absolute disaster we have right now with the acting DNI, Bill Pulte, who has no intelligence experience, who has nothing but loyalty to Trump.

I know Jay Clayton will probably get confirmed. I hope we see the Jay Clayton that I have known and have worked with.

You've got the biggest voice in the room, Trump, fighting against his own Congress.

Unfortunately, Democrats have chosen to play politics and put that over people time and time again under this administration.

Well, the Republicans don't control the House; the place is chaos.

What we should be more concerned about is the fact that China hacked into the OPM.

This was the opening shot of trying to undermine Americans' confidence that their vote will be actually counted and mean something.

The only election that Trump is concerned about is 2020.

There are so many absurdities and falsehoods in Trump's Thursday night speech.

I was bitterly disappointed by his performance in front of my committee.

There was no imminent threat from Iran.

I fear as well that if he tries to pull something that could potentially – he's not ruled out bringing ICE to the polls.

I believe it's because Donald Trump intends to interfere in this year's elections.

I will be voting against Jay Clayton.

I would argue, Margaret, this is what happens when you start a war of choice.
