U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement in response to reports President Trump urged the FBI Director to end his investigation into Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn:

“These stunning disclosures point to the possibility that President Trump personally engaged in obstruction of justice in the Oval Office. This must be a wake-up call for congressional Republicans to begin holding Trump accountable, to put country first, and to act immediately in a bipartisan fashion to get to the bottom of this.”
