Patty Murray: “I really believe, General, that this issue needs your personal attention. Can you give me your commitment on that?”

We should not have to remind you that using government funding to create or air political ads like the ones that have been running over the last few days is illegal and a shockingly corrupt misuse of taxpayer dollars.

These are funds Congress has delivered on a bipartisan basis and should be helping people—not cut off by a president more focused on building a ballroom than investing in families.

Tell Congress and the public what these interagency agreements actually cost taxpayers.

The pocket rescission represented the theft from the American people, plain and simple.
