Accountability

“There were massive security failures which allowed for the failed attempt to assassinate President Donald Trump, the murder of firefighter Corey Comperatore, and the shooting of two other victims. This bipartisan task force will get answers about what happened and demand accountability for these failures to help ensure they never happen again,” said Moolenaar.

“Director Cheatle failed the American people and the brave Secret Service agents under her leadership with poor executive decisions and a lack of accountability. It is a miracle President Trump is alive today. The new leadership of the U.S. Secret Service will be tasked with restoring confidence in the organization, and to do so they must be cooperative, transparent, and determined to ensure the safety of our nation’s leaders,” said Congressman John Moolenaar, who called for the resignation of Cheatle yesterday. 

“Americans want answers from Director Cheatle about why her agency failed to stop a deadly attack and attempted assassination. In her testimony today she was not transparent and failed to provide meaningful information. She should resign her position because the American people deserve accountability and the Secret Service deserves a better leader,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“President Biden’s failed policies have caused inflation to skyrocket over the last three years and Michigan families feel the pain every time they go to the grocery store. They are also increasingly concerned that the president’s health makes him unfit for office. I hope Michigan reporters will ask the President directly if he has the capacity to serve as the leader of the free world and make crucial decisions about the safety of our servicemembers and national security,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“American tax dollars should never be used to further the Chinese Communist Party’s hopes to dominate key technologies at our expense. That’s why I am proud to co-lead the Decoupling from Foreign Adversarial Battery Dependence Act which would stop the Department of Homeland Security from using American taxpayer dollars to purchase Gotion, CATL, or other Chinese batteries. Our military has already banned these batteries and DHS should do the same,” said Moolenaar.

“CFIUS was created with the intent of protecting America and stopping transactions that pose a risk to our national security. A lot has changed since CFIUS was created and unfortunately, it has been left behind. My legislation will increase Congressional oversight so the problems at CFIUS will be fixed and the committee can once again protect the American people from foreign investments that pose a national security risk," said Congressman Moolenaar.

“Voting is a fundamental right for American citizens to determine who will lead their communities and represent them in government. It is disgraceful that our nation’s capital city would allow illegal immigrants and foreign diplomats from any country to vote in local elections. The legislation I voted for today will repeal this out-of-touch decision by the far-left leaders of the capital city and help secure election integrity. The Democrats leading the Senate should pass this bill immediately, and President Biden should sign it into law,” said Moolenaar.

“It is common sense that we should count and know how many citizens there are in Michigan and across the country. Michigan has lost representation in Congress because of failed Democratic policies in Lansing that have driven people out of the state, and because other states are allowed to count large populations of people who are living illegally in their states. I am proud to support this legislation to ensure the citizens of Michigan are fairly represented,” said Moolenaar.
