Wasserman Schultz on Russian Indictments

(Sunrise, Fla.) – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement after Special Counsel Mueller released new indictments today against 13 Russian nationals and a trio of entities for violating U.S. criminal laws and conspiring to interfere with U.S. elections:

“These indictments today demonstrate more clearly than ever that Russia’s brazen and outrageous interference in our 2016 elections were far from a hoax and were an unprecedented attack on our democracy. The revelations from these indictments are deeply disturbing, particularly because we know that Russian meddling in our elections continues to this very day. President Trump and the Congress must act now to urgently protect our upcoming mid-term elections, and we must all ensure that outside political pressures do not impede the Special Counsel’s investigation.”
