Grassley Statement Opening Second Day of Hearing on Foreign Agents Registration Act
Prepared
Statement by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa
Chairman,
Senate Judiciary Committee
Hearing on:
“Oversight of the Foreign Agents Registration Act and Attempts to Influence
U.S. Elections: Lessons Learned from Current and Prior Administrations”
July 27, 2017
I
am disappointed that the Minority
invoked the two hour rule to shut this hearing down before we could hear Mr.
Browder’s testimony yesterday. Mr. Browder has traveled from overseas to be
here today to testify about the Russians' efforts to manipulate our government
and media. This is an important topic to discuss. If the Democrats are truly
serious about getting to the bottom of Russian interference, they should hear
him out.
Mr.
Browder, thank you very much for changing your travel plans yet again. This
Committee very much appreciates your willingness to be here.
