Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor exposing a new whistleblower complain that reveals yet another effort by the Trump administration to interfere in the upcoming election by commanding DHS agents to violate state laws and access private voter information to create law enforcement records as part of their "Unlawful Voter Initiative." Below are Senator Schumer's remarks, which can also be viewed here:

Today, Americans get yet another whiff of Trump's scheme to rig the election.

Today, Senator Padilla and I are revealing a bombshell whistleblower complaint about the Department of Homeland Security's effort to interfere in the upcoming election on Trump's behalf.

The DHS whistleblower warns that the Department is pulling hundreds - hundreds - of federal agents from national security roles and sending them on a wild goose chase.

The goal? To try and prove Trump's sad, tired, and long-debunked election conspiracy theories.

Apparently, agents are being commanded to violate state laws - and lie - to access private voter information and create law enforcement records as part of DHS's "Unlawful voter initiative."

The whistleblower reports that innocent American citizens have been caught up in this effort to prove Trump's baseless voter fraud claims.

You hear that America? Trump's DHS, its Department of Homeland Security, is forcing its officials to carry out an illegal scheme, break state laws, and treat U.S. citizens as collateral damage, all to advance Trump's scheme to rig the election. It's pathetic. It's horrible.

That's how desperate Trump is to escape the wrath of the electorate. Donald: end this illegal initiative now and stop meddling in the elections.
