I ask unanimous consent that my legislative fellow, Adam Bradlow, be granted floor privileges until the end of July of 2019. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

I want to begin by thanking the minority leader for bringing this issue as straightforwardly and as clearly as he has. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I demand to know from the Acting Secretary of Defense and other relevant…

Thank you, Madam President. I will be speaking in just a moment, but I understand the minority leader, Senator Schumer, is on his way to speak before me, so he should be here within moments.

later this week, Wendy Vitter will receive a vote on her nomination to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Once our votes are cast, she almost certainly will be confirmed by a slim margin on largely partisan…

There is so much that is unknown here. And it underscores the importance of the lawsuit that I have brought along with almost 200 of my colleagues, Blumenthal versus Trump, that seeks the story and evidence of his payments and benefits…

And the American people should be asking, what is in those six years of current tax returns that Donald Trump wants to conceal?

Holding Don McGahn in contempt means holding the president accountable, along with others who may have participated in obstruction of justice.

Holding the attorney general in contempt of court is a very powerful marker and a message about this attorney general's contempt for the rule of law.

Biggest loser is certainly a contrast to his boasts about his business acumen. But very significantly, this report raises many more significant questions than this wonderful reporting was able to answer. And it sheds light on why President…

The president, in fact, is saying that he has ultimate power.

The president can be held accountable for his acceptance of payments and benefits from a foreign government and we're going to be pursuing discovery as the next step.

There is no executive privilege as to Robert Mueller, or for that matter, William Barr.

If the courts decide they want to hold the president accountable, if they really believe the president is not above the law, they can fast track these subpoenas as well.

I voted against William Barr. I said then he was unfit to be attorney general. I believe he is unfit even more so today.

He in effect lied to the American people saying that Bob Mueller concluded there was insufficient evidence of obstruction. The fact of the matter is that Bob Mueller said nothing of the kind.

This letter is unquestionably and unprecedented stunning rebuke of the attorney general of the United States, very severely undermining, in fact devastating his credibility now in the Department of Justice, and likely tomorrow in our…

today I wish to recognize two remarkable female leaders of the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot Tribes in honor of National Women's History Month. Both Tribes have reservations in the State of Connecticut and are an integral part of our…

The evidence is pretty clear that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians.

We should definitely focus, Anderson, on the challenges ahead to our country. Infrastructure, that is rebuilding our roads and bridges, health care, making it more widely available and reducing the costs of pharmaceutical drugs.

Clearly, there is evidence of some cooperation there.

I can't emphasize enough how important transparency is.

After all, the president himself said today that he's in favor of transparency. If he's serious about it, he'll back the bipartisan bill that I've introduced with Senator Grassley that would require it.

As much as the President may be exalting in the lack of indictments, there are other potential facts and evidence of wrongdoing that may not be chargeable criminally.

The public has a right to know.

We need to see the Mueller report, not the Barr report. The American people paid for the Mueller report, and they deserve to know all of the findings and evidence, not just Attorney General Barr's conclusions.
