Expressing the sense of Congress that until the conclusion of the FBI’s criminal and counterintelligence investigations into the nature of the Russian connection to the Trump campaign, the Trump Administration is acting under a “gray cloud” of the appearance of a conflict of interest, and, as such, should refrain from taking any actions or making any changes to United States policy that could be seen as benefitting President Putin or his inner circle.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of Congress that until the conclusion of the FBI’s criminal and counterintelligence investigations into the nature of the Russian connection to the Trump campaign, the Trump Administration is acting under a gray cloud of the appearance of a conflict of interest, and, as such, should refrain from taking any actions or making any changes to United States policy that could be seen as benefitting President Putin or his inner circle.

That it is the sense of Congress that—
(1)
President Trump, his family, his business associates, his campaign associates, and members of his Administration should cooperate fully with all investigations undertaken which examine the Russian Federation’s attack on our democracy during the 2016 United States elections, ties between officials with President Trump’s campaign and the Russian Federation, and possible coordination between these officials and the Russian Federation as part of its attack;
(2)
until the conclusion of the FBI’s criminal and counterintelligence investigations into the nature of the Russian connection to the Trump campaign, the Trump Administration is acting under a “gray cloud” of the appearance of a conflict of interest, and, as such, should refrain from taking any actions or making any changes to United States policy that could be seen as benefitting President Putin or his inner circle; and
(3)
the appearance of any conflict of interest concerning a well-resourced, committed, and dangerous foreign adversary and the institutions of United States Government primarily responsible for national defense and the conduct of foreign policy weakens our national security and erodes confidence between the United States and our allies.
