Chris Van Hollen: “Because a lot of our anti-fraud, anti-market manipulation statutes are built on intent, human intent”

We must not forget that a federal judge has already made clear what we have long known: the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice is engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar.

We must hold them to this standard and hold a hearing to determine what the Department knows, as well as request the original report written by embassy staff on the status about these killings.

This should chill every American to the bone. When the rights of one are threatened, the rights of all are at risk.

Last night’s ruling from a federal judge made plain: the Administration’s efforts are in clear violation of Congressional intent.
