The Snapshot

Thursday, April 9, 2026. Pam Bondi disrespects the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein again as she refuses to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee, Chump demonstrates what a chump he actually is with his cease-fire with Iran, and much more.  


Yesterday afternoon, SCRIPPS NEWS GROUP reported, "Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will not appear next week for a scheduled deposition before the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, Scripps News has confirmed. A committee spokeswoman said the Department of Justice informed lawmakers that Bondi will not appear for the April 14 deposition because she is no longer serving as attorney general and was subpoenaed in that capacity."  The Democrats on the House Oversight Committee issued the following: 


Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, released the following statement after former Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to appear for her deposition before the Oversight Committee on April 14, despite the lawful bipartisan subpoena the Committee issued last month. This subpoena is binding, even after she was fired. The subpoena followed the Department of Justice’s botched release of the Epstein files and the continued White House cover-up.

“Now that Pam Bondi has been fired, she’s trying to get out of her legal obligation to testify before the Oversight Committee about the Epstein files and the White House cover-up.

Our bipartisan subpoena is to Pam Bondi, whether she is the Attorney General or not. She must come in to testify immediately, and if she defies the subpoena, we will begin contempt charges in the Congress. The survivors deserve justice,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.

The Department of Justice said Wednesday that Pam Bondi will not appear for her upcoming deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation given that she is no longer serving as the US attorney general.

It marks the latest roadblock in Congress’ fight to secure Bondi’s sworn testimony related to the Justice Department’s public release of its investigative files into the late convicted sex offender.
The department argued that Bondi was subpoenaed in her official role as attorney general and not in a personal capacity. As such, she won’t appear on Capitol Hill on April 14 to discuss her role overseeing the release of the Epstein Files, Assistant Attorney General Patrick D. Davis wrote in a letter to House Oversight Chairman James Comer.

The Department of Justice says this?  DoJ is now the expert on Congressional subpoenas?  Congress subpoenas someone which makes them the 'decider' in this matter. The DoJ appears to be overstepping.  In addition, Pam's job has not been filled and she remains, per Chump's social media post announcing her firing, a government employee -- so still being paid her AG salary -- for the rest of the month as part of a "transitioning."  Therefore, she's still with the Justice Dept and she's still being paid her AG salary through the end of the month and April 14th is in the middle of the month so she could appear before the Committee as part of her "transitioning."











 




The DOJ’s position has drawn criticism from members of both parties on the Oversight Committee. Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), who supported the subpoena alongside Democrats, said Bondi remains obligated to testify regardless of her current status.

“She was subpoenaed by name,” Mace said, arguing that leaving office does not remove the requirement to comply with congressional oversight. Several lawmakers have indicated they view the issue as a matter of institutional authority rather than a partisan dispute.
Representative Ro Khanna (D-Calif) also called for Bondi to appear, stating in a letter to Chairman James Comer that her status as a private citizen could allow for broader testimony.

Nancy Mace is correct, Bondi was subpoenaed by name.  She is compelled to testify or be held in contempt.  There was no "Unless you resign or are fired" exception to the subpoena.  So what happens now?  Alison Durkee (FORBES) ponders that:


What will happen next week. It’s unclear if the threat of contempt could lead Bondi to show up on April 14 as scheduled, and if any GOP lawmakers would support Democrats in bringing contempt charges against her. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee said Wednesday they planned to work with Bondi’s personal counsel to reschedule and have her testify in her personal capacity. It’s unclear when Bondi could testify, if it’s rescheduled, and if that would be enough to keep Democrats from trying to move forward with contempt charges.


Some Epstein victims expressed anger at Bondi’s intent not to appear. “Survivors have waited nearly three decades for answers – how much longer must we wait?” said Maria and Annie Farmer in a joint statement. “Any further delays only deepen survivors’ pain and weakens our confidence in the government’s willingness to hold accountable those who enabled and perpetrated Epstein’s heinous crimes.”

Bondi does not care about the survivors.  She made that clear in February when she appeared before the House Judiciary Committee and refused to turn around and look at the Epstein survivors who were attending the hearing.  The Democrats on the Committee noted this refusal in a press release they issued:


Washington, D.C. (February 12, 2026)—Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, led Judiciary Committee Democrats in cross-examining Attorney General Pam Bondi for the damage done to the Department of Justice (DOJ) under her watch.

Seated in the audience were survivors and families of late survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking ring, who were recognized, with their permission, at the start of the hearing: Theresa Helm; Jess Michaels; Lara Blume McGee; Dani Bensky; Liz Stein; Marina Lacerda; Sky and Amanda Roberts, who are the family of the late Virginia Giuffre; Sharlene Lund; and Lisa Phillips. Bondi ignored Members’ pleas for her to apologize directly to the survivors for the catastrophic harm Bondi’s DOJ caused by releasing their information and intimate details of their abuse. Rather than apologize, Bondi called the question “theatrics.” 

Bondi refused to confront the Trump DOJ’s botched handling of the Epstein files, which recklessly exposed survivors and shielded potential criminal co-conspirators. 

Rep. Pramila Jayapal pressed Bondi: “Will you turn to [the Epstein survivors] now and apologize for what your Department of Justice has put them through with the absolutely unacceptable release of the Epstein files and their information?” Bondi said: “I’m not going to get into the gutter with this woman doing theatrics.” 
 
Rep. Jayapal asked Epstein survivors to raise their hand if they still haven’t been invited to meet with Pam Bondi or the DOJ. Every single one raised their hand. 
 
Rep. Hank Johnson said: “We have the Epstein victim survivors here today. Rep. Jayapal asked a simple question. If you would be so kind and honorable as to turn around and face them and apologize to them for outing them. I mean, how many lives have been derailed because your Department was either sloppy and incompetent or willfully trying to intimidate and punish these ladies?” Bondi again refused to acknowledge the survivors, saying: “Your time is up.” 
 
Bondi obfuscated and filibustered when asked by Rep. Jerry Nadler how many of Epstein’s co-conspirators she has indicted. Rep. Nadler slammed her stonewalling: “The answer to my question of how many of Epstein’s co-conspirators has she indicted is zero. You have been the Attorney General for a whole year, and your DOJ fired the lead prosecutor of this case, sat on evidence this entire time, and claimed falsely last July that there were no more leads. It took an act of Congress for you to finally release part of the Epstein files. And when you did, you included personal information about the victims while protecting the names of abusers.” 
 
In response to a question from Rep. Ted Lieu on why she shut down the investigation into Epstein’s co-conspirators, the Attorney General deflected and made clear she is only here to defend Trump: “This is so ridiculous, that they are trying to deflect from all the great things Donald Trump has done.” Rep. Lieu slammed her non-response: “There are over 1,000 sex trafficking victims. And you have not held a single man accountable. Shame on you. If you had any decency, you would resign right after this hearing concludes.” 
 
Rep. Lou Correa blasted Bondi for redacting the names of powerful men in the Epstein files while dangerously exposing victims: “We have to make sure we tell those predators there is no place for them to hide. And if they commit the crime, they’re going to fry for it. It starts with showing us the names of the perpetrators in the Epstein files.” 
 
Bondi responded with personal attacks when Ranking Member Raskin asked her to “create a joint task force of the Department of Justice and governors and state attorneys general and district attorneys across the country to investigate the crimes that have taken place against [Epstein] victims.” 
 
In response to a question from Rep. Dan Goldman, Bondi refused to commit to providing key documents still missing from the Epstein files production: an 86-page prosecution memo from the Southern District of New York, and a draft indictment from Florida against Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators. Bondi’s DOJ is violating the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act compelling the unredacted release of these documents.  
 
Rep. Jared Moskowitz pointed out precisely why the DOJ has covered up the Epstein files: “Trump’s name appears more times in the Epstein file than Harry Potter’s name appears in the seven books about Harry Potter.” 
 
Rep. Deborah Ross probed the Trump Administration’s shameful transfer of sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell to a lower-security prison where she has been pampered: “Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator received perk after perk in prison. In July, she had a two-day interview with your deputy and President Trump’s former defense attorney, Todd Blanche. Just days after that, Maxwell was transferred from a federal correctional institution in Florida to a minimum-security camp in Texas, which she, as a sex offender, would normally be ineligible for at this new facility. We’ve heard reports that she’s been afforded special privileges: puppy time, private workouts, personal mail, secretarial services.” Bondi bizarrely claimed she didn’t know about the prison transfer that occurred under her watch and falsely claimed that Maxwell had not been transferred to a lower-security prison. 
 
Rep. Becca Balint said: “Now, I’ve seen some of the unredacted Epstein files. And obviously, as you know, President Trump’s name is all over them. But so are the names of other senior Trump officials. Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce, John Phelan, the Secretary of the Navy, and Steven Feinberg, the Deputy Secretary of Defense. These men were appointed by President Trump to senior positions in his Administration. All of them have clear and confirmed ties to Jeffrey Epstein.” Bondi flailed when Rep. Balint pressed her on these ties and why they weren’t a dealbreaker for the President who hired them anyway. 
 
Amid all the lies and evasions, Bondi made a rare admission, saying that Trump’s name “appeared countless times” in the Epstein files.  




On Chump's pal Jeffrey Epstein, Shirsho Dasgupta (THE STATE COLUMBIA) reports:

In his attempts to position himself at the confluence of money and power, Jeffrey Epstein cultivated myriad relationships among the ruling elite of the Middle East, according to an extensive Miami Herald review of several million pages of documents recently released by the U.S. Justice Department.
From his Palm Beach and New York mansions and his luxurious apartment in Paris, Epstein enjoyed a remarkable level of access to sensitive information like the outcomes of political meetings and the itineraries of Gulf royals.

The disgraced financier, the Herald found, regularly corresponded with members of the ruling classes in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates. He invited them to his properties and gave them business advice - even suggesting to Saudi palace officials that he tutor the crown prince about the ways of Wall Street.

He asked that he be given a “small palace” to live in while schooling the prince and demanded that the Saudis give him sweeping oversight over the kingdom’s fortunes.

When Qatar was accused of supporting Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, Epstein detailed to a Qatari royal a four-point campaign on how the country could clean up its image. Epstein also intervened on behalf of a Yemeni billionaire’s son to help him fight murder and rape allegations in Britain.


[. . .]

Epstein first got acquainted with Yemeni billionaire Shaher Abdulhak in the spring of 2012.

Abdulhak, at the time, was in a fix.

His son, Farouk, was a suspect in the rape and murder of 23-year-old Norwegian student Martine Vik Magnussen in London in 2008. According to the British press, British authorities wanted him for questioning, but Farouk had fled to Yemen.

Epstein, the records show, claimed to have facilitated an introduction with British attorney Lord Ken Macdonald, who had previously served as the top prosecutor in England and Wales.

Epstein told Abdulhak in a June 2012 email that he had spoken to Macdonald, who believed that Farouk could get a reduced charge and be granted bail, records show. Epstein advised Abdulhak to focus on “what punishment would be acceptable.”

“I think you are right, something like house arrest, plus charity work,” Abdulhak replied.



Let's move on over to the terrorist that is Donald Chump, the one who said he'd take a country back to "the stone age" and "obliterate" the people living there.  Chump sounded like a terrorist and like a lunatic.  He should be removed from office immediately.  Yes, Chump being Chump, he ended up chickening out at the last minute.  But that he took it that far goes to how severe the dementia has become.

He joined Netanyahu in starting a war of choice and he is now at a point where the US is much weaker and the government of Iran is much stronger.  Tom Boggioni (RAW STORY) reports:

Donald Trump claims to have reached a successful but still evolving ceasefire agreement with Iran, but National Review editor Jim Geraghty has a different assessment: the president has been completely outmaneuvered and is poised to capitulate on nearly every significant demand.
According to Geraghty's scathing analysis, Trump and Iran are describing fundamentally different agreements. The Iranian proposal includes concessions that represent a catastrophic setback for American national security interests.

The Iranian demands include: "Iran's continued control of the Strait of Hormuz," "Iran's uranium enrichment right should be accepted," and "Payment of compensation for damages inflicted on Iran."


Again, he lost.  Rex Huppke (USA TODAY) notes:

I don’t mean to sound controversial, but a president shouldn’t be able to walk away from threatening to wipe out an entire civilization ‒ even setting a deadline, as if Armageddon is a bloody reality show ‒ and then carry on like he’s a normal president. Even if Republicans want you to think it's normal.
In the sweep of less than 24 hours on April 7, Donald Trump went from threatening genocide to agreeing to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, a ceasefire that appears to give the Middle East nation a lot in return for nothing.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m damn glad he stepped away from mass murder. But let’s be honest: America can’t continue with this kind of “Look at me, I’m a crazy former reality show star, tune in to see what I’ll do next?!?” insanity.
The world just spent an entire day not knowing whether the American president was going to commit war crimes or drop a nuclear bomb on Iran as part of a war he started and was never authorized to conduct.




Donald Trump has lashed out at “fraudsters and charlatans” who he claims are circulating fake lists of Iran’s ceasefire plan as he tries to put a positive spin on the war.

In an angry Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump claimed that “numerous agreements, lists and letters” were being sent out by people who had nothing to do with negotiations between the two countries.
“In many cases, they are total Fraudsters, Charlatans, and WORSE. They will be rapidly exposed after our Federal Investigation is completed,” he wrote, without providing any specifics.

“There is only one group of meaningful “POINTS” that are acceptable to the United States, and we will be discussing them behind closed doors during these Negotiations.”

The tirade came hours after Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran—an abrupt climbdown from his earlier threat to unleash devastating military strikes if Tehran failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.


Chump gets a revealed as a chump who needs someone to teach him THE ART OF THE DEAL and he lashes out at others.  Brad Bannon (THE HILL) offers:


“Trump Net Approval Drops to Record Low.” That’s the headline from the YouGov story about the new national survey it conducted last week for The Economist. His overall performance score comes in at net negative 23 percent, which puts him as deep underwater as the Great Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Trump’s ratings have been in intensive care for months but the controversy over starting a war against Iran a month ago have put them on life support.
Iran is a big problem for the president. You don’t need a meteorologist to know which way the wind is blowing. Americans oppose the war by a 2-to-1 margin. While Republicans still support the conflict, opposition to his misguided military misadventure is high in every demographic public subgroup.

Trump also suffers from a significant credibility gap. A clear majority of people believe he hasn’t provided accurate information about the progress of the war. Things could soon even get worse for the commander in chief if he decides to put U.S. troops on Iranian ground. Only one out of every six surveyed favor the use of U.S. ground forces against the Middle Eastern nation.

There are two reasons why the situation has gone from bad to worse for Trump. He failed to demonstrate at the onset that Iran was a serious threat to U.S. national security and the assault weaponized existing public concerns about his failure to reduce inflationary prices.


His reputation is in tatters on the world stage.  Need an example?  Sam Meredith (CNBC) reports:

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Wednesday joined a chorus of world leaders welcoming the announcement of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire but issued a thinly veiled swipe at the Trump administration for having initiated the hostilities.
"Ceasefires are always good news. Especially if they lead to a just and lasting peace. But this momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost," Sánchez said in a social media post, according to a translation.
"The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket."
Sánchez, who has emerged as one of the European Union's leading critics of U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran, called for "diplomacy, international law and PEACE" to prevail.

I can't imagine any US president in post-WWII era being insulted like that.  And from our ally Spain.  But this is what Chump has fostered with his attacks and his bullying.  He's treated the world as though it doesn't matter and now he's getting the same treatment back.  



But the two-week cease-fire leaves the Islamic Republic in place and still in command of the future of the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran’s nuclear stockpile and ballistic missile program unresolved. After Mr. Trump’s declaration of victory, however hollow, it is difficult to imagine a resumption of full-scale war.

For the rest of the world, the war “is starting to look like a military defeat, more serious than Iraq or Afghanistan,” said Bruno Maçães, former secretary of state for European affairs for Portugal.

“The myth of America as all-powerful is important,” he added, “and it’s the basic requirement of a global hegemon to keep the oil flowing, to open up the strait and keep it open. This belief in an all-powerful America that can solve anything is disappearing.”

Keeping sea lanes open for American goods and global trade is one of the few permanent interests the United States has in the Middle East, as well as in Asia.

The war in Iran shut down the strait. Now, the Iranian military is still in control of the passageway and is likely to demand large tolls. “The strategic rationale for the American military presence in the region has taken a huge hit,” said Stephen Wertheim, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment in Washington.


The US looks like a crazed lunatic and a loser thanks to Chump.  And Iran?  As Charles P. Pierce points out at ESQUIRE:

Iran walks away with more than it had in the previous agreement it struck with the Obama administration. Israel is still firing missiles into Iran, to say nothing of laying waste to half of Lebanon. Iran maintains control of the Strait of Hormuz. Indeed, the deal turns the strait into an Iranian tollbooth. I think we’re lucky that Iran doesn’t now own half of Montana. On the other hand, Pete Hegseth thinks the whole thing is/was a masterstroke:

This morning, a big day for world peace. Iran wants it to happen. They’ve had enough. Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield. A capital V.
And JD Vance, fresh off canoodling with Viktor Orbán and still cosplaying Urban II in Budapest, emphasized that the U.S. is not kidding around this time. No sir. Not us. Uh-uhhh. 


June 23rd, Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman's REGIME CHANGE is released.  It's about Chump's second term thus far.  The two reporters for THE NEW YORK TIMES have written "How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran" which is based on their book and which THE TIMES published Monday.  Interesting details in the piece.  Most interesting?  Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, was not present when Netanyahu made his case for war.  We'll note this part because it's been repeated in the media and it was always wrong: 

The Israelis also raised the prospect of Iranian Kurdish fighters crossing the border from Iraq to open a ground front in the northwest, further stretching the regime’s forces and accelerating its collapse.
[. . .]
The intelligence officials had deep expertise in U.S. military capabilities, and they knew the Iranian system and its players inside out. They had broken down Mr. Netanyahu’s presentation into four parts. First was decapitation — killing the ayatollah. Second was crippling Iran’s capacity to project power and threaten its neighbors. Third was a popular uprising inside Iran. And fourth was regime change, with a secular leader installed to govern the country.

The U.S. officials assessed that the first two objectives were achievable with American intelligence and military power. They assessed that the third and fourth parts of Mr. Netanyahu’s pitch, which included the possibility of the Kurds mounting a ground invasion of Iran, were detached from reality.


The Kurds in Iraq were never going to mount an invasion.  As we noted here repeatedly -- often noting the Talabni's extreme closeness to the Iranian government -- that was not going to happen.  The two ruling dynasties in the Kurdistan are both close to the government of Iran and have been for years.  Many fools in the US media repeated this claim -- from US anonymice whispers or Israeli anonymice whispers, I don't know -- and it was never viable.  

Back to the article:

When Mr. Trump joined the meeting, Mr. Ratcliffe briefed him on the assessment. The C.I.A. director used one word to describe the Israeli prime minister’s regime change scenarios: “farcical.”
At that point, Mr. Rubio cut in. “In other words, it’s bullshit,” he said.

Mr. Ratcliffe added that given the unpredictability of events in any conflict, regime change could happen, but it should not be considered an achievable objective.

Several others jumped in, including Mr. Vance, just back from Azerbaijan, who also expressed strong skepticism about the prospect of regime change.

The president then turned to General Caine. “General, what do you think?”

General Caine replied: “Sir, this is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell, and their plans are not always well-developed. They know they need us, and that’s why they’re hard-selling.”

Mr. Trump quickly weighed the assessment. Regime change, he said, would be “their problem.” It was unclear whether he was referring to the Israelis or the Iranian people. But the bottom line was that his decision on whether to go to war against Iran would not hinge on whether Parts 3 and 4 of Mr. Netanyahu’s presentation were achievable.



Let's wind down with this from Senator Elizabeth Warren's office:

Text of Letter (PDF)

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), along with Representative Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) and Representative Troy Carter (D-La.), pressed the Inspectors General of the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and State to open an investigation into the Trump administration’s attempts to deport people to countries they have no ties to.

“We request that your offices evaluate the Trump Administration’s unlawful and costly system of “third-country removals”...Congress and the public deserve answers to better understand the scale of legal violations within this system that was recently ruled unconstitutional,” wrote the lawmakers.

Since President Trump took office for a second time, his administration has deported hundreds of people, including children, long-time U.S. residents, and individuals with no criminal records, to countries they are not from and that were not designated for their removal, which U.S. immigration law only allows in rare circumstances. Deportees are being sent to these countries without proper due process, and in some cases without being provided an opportunity to voice concerns that their life or freedom would be in danger in that third country. To persuade countries to accept deportees, the Trump Administration has used a combination of threats and payments, including paying $32 million to El Salvador, Rwanda, Eswatini, Equatorial Guinea, and Palau.

In September 2025, Senator Warren led over 60 members of Congress in launching an investigation into these practices. Despite the serious implications of third-country removals, both State and Homeland Security have failed to comply with the requests made as part of that investigation.

On February 25, 2026, a federal court ruled that this third-country removal system violates the U.S. Constitution and immigration law. Even so, DHS’s 2025 guidance regarding third country removals — which do not appear to have been updated since the February 2026 court ruling — claim the Department can deport individuals to third countries with no individualized process whatsoever.

Many people first learn that they are being deported to a third country while on the flight overseas. Even when a country has not credibly promised to refrain from torture or persecution, DHS still generally gives individuals only 24 hours’ notice that they will be deported to a particular country, with no guaranteed opportunity to speak with an attorney. To make matters worse, some DHS attorneys have reportedly threatened asylum seekers that they may be deported to third countries in order to pressure them to abandon their asylum claims and accept deportation to their home countries.

Some people deported to third countries have reported torture, arbitrary detention, and forced return to their countries of origin where courts have found they are likely to face persecution, and other human rights violations.

“Such reports cast serious doubt on DoS’s process, if one exists, of verifying the reliability of countries’ assertions that they will not torture or persecute deportees, or transport them onward to other countries where they’re likely to face torture or persecution,” wrote the lawmakers.

Meanwhile, the Administration is continuing to execute third-country deportations. As of early March, ICE had over 500 people in its custody slated for third-country deportations, and DHS signaled that it had its sights on deporting over 8,000 people to third countries.

The lawmakers asked that Inspectors General’s investigation include the administration’s failure to follow due process, negotiations with foreign governments, evaluating the risk of torture and persecution, and the cost of third-country deportations.

Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Jackie Rosen (D-Nev.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) signed on to this letter.

Representatives Donald Beyer (D-Va.), Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), Dwight Evans (D-Pa.), John Garamendi (D-Calif.), Jesús García (D-Ill.), Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas), Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), Jahana Hayes (D-Conn.), Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), and Adam Smith (D-Wash.) signed on to this letter.
