Axne on Whistle Blower Complaint | 2019-09-24 | 2019 | 2019-09 | Democrat | House | IA | Cynthia Axne | A000378 | axne.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON Today, U.S. Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03) released the following statement in response to the recently revealed whistle blower complaint made against President Trump: When I was sworn into office, I took an oath under God to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Using the Oval Office to pressure a foreign leader to investigate a political opponent is a clear abuse of power. Beyond an abuse of power, allegations that the President threatened to leverage U.S. taxpayer dollars to extort a foreign government, if true, constitute an unequivocal violation of our federal laws and the U.S. Constitution I swore to defend. For the sake of our national security and our democracy, these serious allegations require independent Congressional investigation unobstructed by this Administration. Congress has a responsibility to uphold the rule of law and to take appropriate steps to open an impeachment inquiry. If the President, as he has said, has nothing to hide, then he shouldallow the whistle blower to provide the full complaint to House and Senate Intelligence Committees.I look forward to reviewing the full transcript of the President's call tomorrow and hearing from the Acting Director of National Intelligence later this week, where I expect him to provide all relevant information so Congress can make an informed decision. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
