Quigley Statement on Trump’s Attempt to Rewrite History, Promote Obama and Russia Conspiracies

Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement on Trump’s bizarre social media attacks on President Obama and Republicans’ efforts to rewrite history on Trump’s behalf:

“Donald Trump disrespects the office of the presidency every single day, but this week, he took things to a new low. Trump's use of an AI-generated video of President Obama was deeply unsettling. First, for the ongoing insinuation that he would arrest his political rivals. Second, for his continued rejection of the widely accepted conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. In 2017, the entire Intelligence Community, and Senate Republicans led by Marco Rubio, reached this conclusion. As someone who took part in the investigation, allow me to remind Trump and Republicans that despite their best efforts, the truth remains.”
