(Washington, D.C.) – Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (IN-08) released the following statement regarding the Special Counsel’s Report:

“After two years, two congressional investigations, and millions of taxpayer dollars spent searching for collusion between Russia and President Trump’s campaign, Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation – which had unfettered ability to investigate any potential link between Russia and the Trump campaign – has made it clear, without a doubt, no collusion with Russians by President Trump or by any other Americans.

 “This was an exhaustive investigation, and the case is now closed on the matter.  It is unfortunate that for two years, Washington Democrats had seemingly already made up their minds on this matter and chose to irresponsibly play politics, wasting time and money grasping at straws, rather than accept the results of the 2016 Presidential election and work with President Trump and Republicans in Congress to advance the American people’s priorities. I hope that Democrats in Congress will accept the results of Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation as definitive and put this matter behind us. Any further investigations of this matter in Congress will simply be a needless partisan exercise. 

“I applaud Special Counsel Mueller and his team for leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to ensure our democracy stands strong. We must now move forward as a united nation to tackle the issues facing America – including the interference of foreign nations on our electoral system. I urge my Democrat colleagues to join with President Trump and Republicans in Congress to continue advancing an agenda that has brought America’s economy back to life, rebuilt our nation’s military, diminished threats in the Middle East, and improved the standard of living for all Americans.”
