Yet, at every turn, House Republicans have either sought to change the subject or to cast doubt on Mueller\u2019s independence and integrity, despite the fact that many of them lavishly praised him before the former FBI Director was chosen to lead the Russia probe.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\u201cUltimately, the Trump administration\u2019s evasions and outright lies represent a challenge for Congress as an institution \u2013 a test of our collective character that House Republicans are clearly failing.\u00a0 Time and time again, they have placed partisanship before patriotism.\u00a0 Over and over, they have bent over backwards to cover for Donald Trump.\u00a0 My Republican colleagues are letting their constituents and our country down.\u00a0\n\u201cThe American people deserve better.\u201d\n\u00a0\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://rubengallego.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-ruben-gallego-releases-statement-judiciary-hearing-deputy-ag"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9065531194210052, "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"}
