Chris Coons

We are thankful for the leadership of Senator Coons and the many other Senators on the Committee for embracing this concept through S. 2463.

Given the previous conversation you had with Senator Van Hollen, it's my hope that, if President Trump proceeded to pardon Michael Cohen, in violation of longstanding policy, and did not consult with the Pardon Attorney, did not consult…

I look forward to looking into that further.

I look forward to working with you on that.

All this bill would do is to require notification to State law enforcement when there is a denial of a NICS application.

I do think it was an important step forward.

Quality representation not only promotes the rule of law and safeguards constitutional rights, it also saves money by reducing pre-trial and post-trial incarceration costs

It is clearly both in our humanitarian interest and in our national security interest to reach a resolution of this conflict as soon as is possible.

It is more important than ever that the administration formulate and deliver a comprehensive strategy to the Congress and the American people.

Are you concerned to see polls such as this that for the first time ever, say more people around the world or more leaders around the world trust Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping to lead the world in the right direction than America under…

Representing America also requires promoting America's ideals, values, and priorities for those who ultimately determine the trajectory of geopolitics, the voters and citizens of the world.

I am glad to hear that example and to hear you repeat our shared commitment to the rule of law as a core American value.

Well, Director Pompeo, I would urge you to give it some thought. Many of us are giving it some real thought and have had to do so for months.

President Trump described Special Counsel Mueller's investigation as an attack on what we all stand for, and he has repeatedly threatened to fire Robert Mueller.

I hope that you will both advise the President and, on occasion, stand up to him, if he is doing things with which you disagree.

Myself and Senator Coons, Senator Peters, and a few others were in the country of Zimbabwe just a few days ago.

I could not agree more. I just think we cannot wait 5 years to get housing discrimination and personally offensive material out of Facebook.

Is it not Facebook's job to better protect its users?

ProPublica back in 2016 highlighted that Facebook lets advertisers exclude users by race in real estate advertising.

You have already admitted that Facebook's own ad tools allowed Russians to target users, voters based on racist or anti-Muslim or anti-immigrant views.

The budget proposes eliminating Food for Peace--it seems a little more directly targeted.

Today or tomorrow, Senator Corker and I will be introducing the Food for Peace Modernization Act.

I am a co-sponsor of the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act, which I am hoping we will move forward to reauthorize.

I do think our Millennium Challenge Corporation has moved quite a ways for our overall development approach in the direction of partnering with a country, responding to its development priorities, having accountability mechanisms.
