McEachin on Nunes’ Choice to Step Aside

April 6, 2017
Press Release

WASHINGTON - Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) issued this statement following Nunes’ decision to step aside and allow for a nonpartisan investigation into Russia’s attack on our country:

“Chairman Nunes, after having repeatedly done the President's bidding at the expense of objectivity, has finally decided to step aside. I have said repeatedly during my first three months in Congress that Russia attacked our country when they intervened in our elections. An investigation into Russia’s attack on our country should be taken seriously. While I have faith in Ranking Member Adam Schiff’s leadership, I am concerned about Reps. Michael Conaway, Trey Gowdy and Tom Rooney moving forward with a nonpartisan investigation. Rep. Gowdy has demonstrated with his service as chairman on the House Select Committee on Benghazi that he does not lead in a nonpartisan fashion. I still believe that an independent commission is still the best option for the American people to get the facts they deserve.”
