Dems want Rohrabacher pulled from leadership of panel overseeing Russia

Source: The Hill

House Democrats’ campaign arm on Thursday called for Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) to be removed as chairman of a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee overseeing Russia over his ties to the country.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is targeting Rohrabacher, who is one of 23 Republicans representing a district won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 and has come under scrutiny for his sympathetic stances toward Russia.

CNN reported on Wednesday that the Senate Intelligence Committee is considering whether to ask Rohrabacher about his meeting earlier this month with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in London.

Rohrabacher has said he plans to brief President Trump on his discussion with Assange, who told the lawmaker that leaked Democratic Party documents published by WikiLeaks during last year’s campaign didn’t come from Russia, contrary to conclusions drawn by multiple U.S. intelligence agencies.

In addition to being compromised by Russia, he also supported Sunni terrorists attacking Shiites after an ISIS attack in Iran. And the GOP decided to put him in charge of a foreign affairs comitee.
