Breaking the Logjam on Hydroxychloroquine

Letter Forwarded to President Trump

HCQ Letter

Thank you to the more than 4,000 doctors, medical professionals and concerned patients who signed my letter to President Trump urging action on the right to try and right to prescribe hydroxychloroquine in the fight against COVID-19. The letter has been sent.

The new fighters will help maintain U.S. air superiority and keep our state and country safe and secure. The F-35s will also ensure the Air National Guard continues to play an important role in Wisconsins communities and economy.

Dogged Pressure Reveals Footnotes

I appreciate the Wall Street Journal for recognizing the "dogged pressure" of my staff to get to the truth of declassified footnotes to the Justice Department Inspector General report into the Crossfire Hurricane investigation of the Trump campaign.

The FBI knew that at least some of its evidence against the Trump campaign, and maybe more, was likely part of a Russian disinformation campaign that was central and essential for getting the first FISA warrant.

I will continue my oversight to unveil any additional wrongdoing. The American people deserve to know what is happening inside their government.
