Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement following U.S. intelligence professionals\u2019 conclusion that Russia interfered in U.S. elections for the purposes of affecting the outcome.\n\u201cLike so many Americans \u2013 Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike \u2013 I am profoundly disturbed that America\u2019s intelligence professionals have concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.\u00a0 In the face of the dire seriousness of Russia\u2019s actions, Congress has one choice and one choice only: to act.\u201d\n\u201cAs a veteran who served on active duty and as an immigrant, the sanctity of our democracy is deeply personal to me.\u00a0 My family and I came to this country for the chance to live the American Dream.\u00a0 I chose to serve my nation in uniform to give back to America.\u00a0 Our nation\u2019s free, open and safe elections are the guarantor of the American Dream and they must be protected at all times.\u201d\n\u201cAs a result, I hope Speaker Ryan joins with Democrats and Republicans in Congress to call for a full investigation into Russia\u2019s hacking of the 2016 election.\u00a0 Congress must investigate Russia\u2019s actions, not for the sake of a political party, or a President-elect, but for the sake of each and every American proud to live in a nation forged in liberty\u2019s name \u2013 a nation whose democracy has been a shining beacon the world over.\u201d\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://lieu.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-lieu-statement-russian-hacking-2016-us-election"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.163266995921731, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
