WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Maggie Hassan released the following statement on former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee:
“Former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony underscored how significant Russian interference in our 2016 election was, as well as the urgent need to get to the bottom of any potential connections to President Trump’s associates and to prevent future attacks against our democracy. I am particularly concerned by Comey’s testimony that President Trump demanded the FBI Director’s loyalty and attempted to influence an ongoing FBI investigation. It is critical that both the Senate Intelligence Committee and special counsel Bob Mueller follow the facts wherever they may lead, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that we get the truth for the American people.”
