DNC Chair Tom Perez released the following statement after the Justice Department charged President Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn with making false statements to the FBI:<\/em><\/p>\n

“This time, the president can’t get away with claiming these charges aren’t about his inner circle’s contacts with Russia, and he can’t dismiss Michael Flynn as some low-level aide.  This development should serve as a clear signal to Republicans in Congress that it is time to take this investigation seriously and stop making excuses for the president’s attempts to interfere with it.  Democrats will not stand by as Trump’s enablers in Congress betray the American people, undermine our democracy, and endanger our national security. It’s time for Republicans to commit to protecting this investigation and preserving the rule of law.”<\/p>\n

El Director del Comité Nacional Demócrata, Tom Pérez, realizó las siguientes declaraciones luego de que el Departamento de Justicia formulara cargos contra el ex-Consejero de Seguridad Nacional del presidente Trump, Michael Flynn, por realizar declaraciones falsas al FBI: <\/em><\/p>\n

“Esta vez el presidente no puede decir que los cargos no tienen que ver con los contactos con Rusia de personas en su círculo inmediato y tampoco puede decir que Michael Flynn era un asistente de bajo nivel. Este desarrollo debería servir como una clara señal para los republicanos del Congreso de que es el momento de tomar esta investigación en serio y dejar de inventar excusas para los intentos del presidente de interferir con ella. Los demócratas no nos quedaremos callados mientras un grupo de alcahuetes en el Congreso traicionan al pueblo estadounidense, socavan nuestra democracia y ponen en riesgo la seguridad nacional. Es el momento de que los republicanos se comprometan a proteger esta investigación y preservar el estado de derecho”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
