Rep. Gallego Statement on First Special Counsel Indictments

WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Ruben Gallego (AZ-07) released the following statement in response to the indictments of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business associate Rick Gates:

"Today's charges against Paul Manafort and Rick Gates are a clear indication of the seriousness of special counsel Mueller's investigation.

"Mueller must be able to continue this investigation to its conclusion without any meddling by President Trump or his administration. If President Trump fires Mueller, that would be clear obstruction of justice – an impeachable offense.

"Republicans in Congress need to make clear what the consequences will be for Donald Trump if he fires Mueller or stands in the way of a full and independent investigation."
