DeGette statement on whistleblower complaint

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following is a statement from U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) on the whistleblower complaint released today:

"This complaint lays out a compelling case that President Trump, Attorney General Barr and Rudy Giuliani have tried to manipulate Ukrainian officials for months to aide them in an elaborate scheme to interfere in the upcoming 2020 election. The complaint further alleges that White House officials have taken extraordinary steps to cover up additional conversations President Trump has had with other foreign leaders. These alleged acts are impeachable offenses – and must be investigated immediately."
