Today’s ruling is a fundamental & resounding victory for Congressional oversight, our Constitutional system of checks & balances, & the rule of law.
For far too long, the President has placed his personal interests over the interests of the American people.

This is a grave and solemn moment for our country. #POTUS, from the WH lawn, is openly calling on foreign powers to smear his political rival.
I urge my GOP colleagues to join us and save our democracy.
History will commend us, and future generations will be the beneficiaries.
