The President's phone call to President Zelensky was really the tip of the iceberg. That there was an elaborate scheme in which the President engaged many parts of the State Department and people outside the government to advance his plan to ask for assistance from the president of Ukraine to dig up dirt on his political opponent.
Cicilline describes the phone call with Zelensky as part of a larger scheme by Trump to solicit foreign interference in the election.

I am fearful that if we were to pass 1690 as it is drafted, it would not only really violate that long tradition of America being a place that welcomes people who are seeking asylum.
Because it ignores the fundamental reality that our country has been made stronger, more vibrant, more dynamic, more powerful because of the arrival of immigrants, and refugees, and asylum seekers.
We must remember that child abduction is child abuse and it has devastating emotional, psychological, and even physical consequences for both abducted children and their families left behind.
the right to asylum is fundamentally under threat in the United States, which is a sad thing to say, given this Nation's history.
