Rep. Doggett Responds to Michael Flynn Guilty Plea

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Tax Policy Subcommittee, issued the following statement after Michael Flynn, former National Security Advisor for President Trump and top Trump campaign official, pleaded guilty to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about his contacts with Russian authorities. Rep. Doggett said:

"The wheels of justice turn slowly, but despite Donald Trump's repeated obstructionism, they still turn. Former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn's guilty plea and the report that a senior Trump transition member directed his contact with Russians indicates there is much more yet to come. To prevent further Russian meddling, we still need a truly independent investigation, not one subject to more Republican interference."
