Tell Congress: Investigate Trump’s ties to Russia
Last week, Donald Trump encouraged the Russian government to spy on the United States. In the wake of his unprecedented statement, members of the intelligence community – and more than 170,000 CREDO activists – have called for Trump to be denied access to classified national security briefings.
In addition to the outrage over Trump’s shocking comments, recent media coverage has raised questions about financial ties between Trump and Russian oligarchs with close connections to Putin;
highlighted longstanding relationships between high-ranking Trump advisors and pro-Russian politicians and oligarchs; and flagged a change to the Republican party platform position on Ukraine that seems out-of-step with Republican policies but in-line with Russia’s policy agenda in the disputed region. There has also been widespread reporting that Russian secret intelligence was behind recent cyber attacks on Democratic political organizations, and leaks which seemed timed to help Trump’s campaign.
Taken together, the mounting evidence of ties between Trump and Putin provides reason for concern that Trump’s connections and financial obligations to Russian political and financial players could present a conflict of interest in a Trump presidency. There is also reason for concern that Russian government interests would be served by interfering with the U.S. electoral process.
