“Even Senator Chuck Schumer has warned that Russia tries to interfere in our elections. The President and the American people know this is a real problem. We need to protect our elections.”
“Mr. Chair, interestingly enough, Chuck Schumer, Democratic leader in the Senate, agrees. In 2018, he was talking about Russian interference. It turned out to be a conspiracy and debunked. He said that they are actively trying to do it again. Russia is trying to do it again. We must wake up to this fact--these are his words: ``We won’t be able as a nation to fight back against foreign interference in our elections if the Commander in Chief’’--Donald Trump at the time-- ``doesn’t even acknowledge that it is a real problem.’’ I think this President has acknowledged it is a real problem, and I think the American people have acknowledged it is a real problem. I thank the gentleman for his leadership to restore confidence and integrity to the United States electoral system. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.”
