NEWPORT BEACH, CA – Candidate for the House of Representatives Laura Oatman issued the following statement:
“Today we learned that even House Republican leadership jokes that Rep. Rohrabacher is too close to Russia, with Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy saying, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who has been called “Putin’s favorite congressman,” must support the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, into Russian interference in our election. With campaign donations from disgraced former Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and dubious ties to Russia, the citizens of the 48th District also deserve answers from Representative Rohrabacher on his shadowy Russian dealings.”
