Schumer Statement on House Passage of Russia Sanctions Bill

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today released the below statement regarding the passage of the Russia sanctions bill in the House of Representatives:

“The House vote on this tough sanctions bill sends a message to President Putin that meddling in U.S. elections will not be tolerated.

“Senate Republican leaders should move this bill as soon as possible, so that it can be on the President's desk without delay. Passing the bill on a bipartisan basis will send a strong signal to the White House that the Kremlin needs to be held accountable for meddling in last year's election.”
