Johnson Report

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHUMER. While the rest of the country was busy fighting COVID, Senate Republicans have been abusing the power of the Senate to conduct opposition research for President Trump's campaign.

This morning, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee released his report, which reads as if Putin wrote it, not U.S. Senators. The bogus narrative of this report, peddled by a Russian disinformation campaign, was disproved by every witness who testified. Despite their zeal to smear Vice President Biden and his family, Senate Republicans found no evidence--no evidence--to support the conspiracy theories pushed by Putin's intelligence agencies.

Senators Grassley and Johnson should reimburse taxpayers for the money they wasted. This entire disgraceful affair and the Johnson report should be relegated to the dustbin of history.
