GOP House Rep Calls For Special Russia Prosecutor

“It is time for an investigation of Russia’s intervention in the U.S. Election. There is too much at stake at home and abroad to not take this step. There is so much conflicting information from many sources; Americans deserve the opportunity to learn the truth. As stated before, I continue to support any efforts done by the House Intelligence Committee and join many of my colleagues in supporting the assignment of a special prosecutor to take over the ongoing FBI investigation.” – GOP House Rep. Steve Knight, via press release.

Knight narrowly won his House race in 2016 in a district that Hillary Clinton took by 16 points. He made national headlines in 2015 for telling an anti-immigration protester, “If you touch me again, I’ll drop your ass.”
