The assessment was made0:09by Krishnamoorthi, Democrat of Illinois,0:11in a C-SPAN [music] interview, framing0:13the issue as congressional oversight of0:15what happened and what the Justice0:16Department will disclose. His exact0:18words were, "President Trump [music] is0:19not as fully cooperative as we would0:21like." Adding, "I know many, many0:23Republican colleagues have echoed the0:25same." That claim [music] is attributed0:27solely to Krishnamoorthi in that0:28interview. And the available evidence0:30provides no independent measure of White0:32House cooperation [music] and no0:34separate confirmation of where0:35Republican members stand. He grounded0:37the criticism in survivors, saying,0:38[music]0:39"When you actually meet with the0:40survivors, the politics really start to0:42fall away because they are real human0:44beings [music] who have suffered a grave0:45miscarriage of justice." And describing0:48thousands of young women, then [music]0:50girls, really, who were abused. Without0:52White House cooperation, congressional0:54efforts to establish [music] what0:55happened and what will be disclosed0:57remain stalled while survivors await0:59justice. And whether Republican1:01colleagues will publicly echo the1:02criticism and whether the White House1:04will respond will determine if1:05cooperation increases or the1:06investigation stays contested.Explore with HeyDexThe shortThe short ↗
