Schiff on Mulvaney Press Conference: Things Have Just Gone from ‘Very Bad’ to ‘Much Worse’

‘Things have just gone from very very bad to much much worse’

SCHIFF: "Just want to make a very brief statement in light of the comments of the Acting Chief of Staff, or Chief of Staff Mulvaney.
With his acknowledgement now that military aid to a vital ally, an ally battling Russia as we speak, was withheld in part out of a desire by the President to have Ukraine investigate the DNC server or Democrats in 2016, things have just gone from very, very bad to much, much worse. The idea that vital military assistance would be withheld for such a patently political reason, for the reason of serving the President's reelection campaign is a phenomenal breach of the President's duty to defend our national security and I hope that every member, Democrat and Republican, will speak out and condemn this illicit action by the President and his Chief of Staff. Thank you."
