As my congressional representative for the 4th District, I am respectfully urging Congressman Chris Smith to add his voice to the nonpartisan group of lawmakers that has called for a congressional investigation into allegations that the Russian government attempted to influence the outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election.
The accusation that a major foreign power attempted to or actually did influence a U.S. presidential election is extremely serious. Also, it’s very worrisome that the President-elect would choose not to believe U.S. intelligence, but instead would rely on what he would like to believe is true — without any evidence to substantiate those beliefs.
Politics aside, the entire episode needs to be investigated by Congress with the results shared with the American people.
